Entity Framework and SCOPE_IDENTITY

Question

I have a stored procedure that inserts into a table then executes this line

SET @returnVal = SCOPE_IDENTITY();

and after that I\'ve tried both:

Answer 1

Declare a output type of parameter in your procedure definition:

 create procedure [dbo].[Procedurename] @returnVal int output
 as 
 SET @returnVal = SCOPE_IDENTITY();

and while calling the stored procedure call it as:

 declare @returnVal int
 exec Procedurename @returnVal output
 print @returnVal
