how to get the next autoincrement value in sql

Question

I am creating a winform application in c#.and using sql database.

I have one table, employee_master, which has columns like Id, name, address

Answer 1

To get the next auto-increment value from SQLServer :

This will fetch the present auto-increment value.

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('table_name');

Next auto-increment value.

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('table_name')+1; 

------> This will work even if you add a row and then delete it because IDENT_CURRENT returns the last identity value generated for a specific table in any session and any scope.
