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

One way is to run a select query after the insert command. A good way is to wrap the original command like this:

    public int WrapInsert(Parameters)
    {
        .....
        int RowsAffected = this.Insert(..Parameters..);
        if ( RowsAffected > 0)
        {
            try
            {
                SqlCommand cm = this.Connection.CreateCommand();
                cm.CommandText = "SELECT @@IDENTITY";
                identity = Convert.ToInt32(cm.ExecuteScalar());
            }
            finally
            {
                ....
            }
        }
        return RowsAffected;
    }
