SQL Server and C#: get last inserted id

Question

public static void CreateSocialGroup(string FBUID)
{
    string query = \"INSERT INTO SocialGroup (created_by_fbuid) VALUES (@FBUID); SELECT @@IDENTITY AS LastID\";
         


        

Answer 1

You can use ExecuteScalar to get the last value from a Sqlcommand.

The scope_identity() function is safer than @@identity.
