Getting @@IDENTITY from TableAdapter

Question

I am trying to complete a seemingly simple task that has turned into a several hour adventure: Getting @@Identity from TableAdapter.Insert().

Answer 1

You have exactly two choices:

• change your SQL code manually
• use whatever Visual Studio generates

I'd use the following SQL and ExecuteScalar.

INSERT INTO [dbo].[Sites] ([Name], [Description])
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
VALUES (@Name, @Description);
