Really urgent - Data field retrieve and store

Basically i make use of FormView in Web Developer Express Edition to create and store information to the database ...

what i want to do further is to capture the value within the primary key of the newly created recordset that I set it become auto increament ....

this value would be stored within a session string in global condition that allowed any page able to access it ....

If you simply want to return the ID to use within the application, and you are using a stored procedure, do this.

Insert the record as normal in the table, then add a statement such as SELECT SCOPE_IDENETITY() as TheNewId

If your insert fails, this line never executes. If insert is OK, you get teh new ID passed back

In your code, perform an execute scaler method call on the connection, and cast the return (decimal as object) into an integer, and store in session. If the returned value is null, the insert failed

What I often create for projects is a global "Execute Scaler" method that accepts the name of a stored procedure, and a string dictionary of name/value pairs.

IN the method, create the SQL Command object, call the SQLCommandBuilder static method to get the parameters, then iterate through the dictionary to add these by name.

Call the command ExecuteScaler as mentioned and proceed as above

|||Really appreciate ur feedback men... but it looks so technical for me men... i am totally a new beginner but have to complete this project within another week time...

can u demonstrate the code (sorry for the hassle)... i kind of not sure how to achieve what u had mentioned...|||

Example SP

CREATE PROCEDURE

dbo.MyTable_Insert

(

@.Parameter1varchar(100)

)

AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

INSERT INTOMyTable (MyData)VALUES(@.Parameter1)

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()asTheNewId

Example Code

int InsertRecord(string insertValue)

{

// assumes you have set cnn as a suitable connection

SqlCommand cmd =newSqlCommand("MyTable_Insert", cnn);

cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;

cmd.Parameters["@.Parameter1"].Value = insertValue;

object retObject = cmd.ExecuteScalar();

if (retObject !=null)

return (int)retObject;

else

return 0;// no new record

}
