Guys I am trying to learn MVC and I want to use stored procedures to perform all CRUD operations in MVC framework. I have googled for tutorials and everything, but all the tutorials are using that "Code-First" approach and using Entity Framework to handle all the data.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me regarding how to use SP in MVC and could provide some links to tutorials or something like that.
Before you learn Entity Framework, before you learn LINQ to SQL, take the time to learn ADO.NET which is all you need if you want to call a stored procedure. The previously mentioned technologies are in fact built on top of ADO.NET so it's good to know what they are doing. Check out lesson 7 of this tutorial which shows you exactly how to call a stored procedure from any .NET application (including MVC).
You can always use code first from your db Code First to an Existing Database
Using this simple method, I was able to call stored procedures in MVC application
public static DataSet ExecuteDataset(string connectionString, CommandType commandType, string commandText, SqlParameter[] commandParameters)
{
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand())
{
command.Connection = connection;
command.CommandTimeout = 0;
command.CommandType = commandType;
command.CommandText = commandText;
if (commandParameters != null && commandParameters.Length > 0)
command.Parameters.AddRange(commandParameters);
return FillData(command, connection);
}
}
}
