I am trying to learn more about web development with C# and ASP.Net.
I am using LINQ to store values from a contact form in a database, however, the database also requires a 'Policy ID' that is generated by calling a stored procedure.
I have absolutely no idea how to about calling the stored procedure, obtaining the integer value generated and then using that value to set PolicyID in the table.
Could anybody provide me with a process that will work like so:
Execute SPROC, return POLICY ID. Get PolicyID, set as PolicyNo. add PolicyNo to db.PolicyID
I appreciate some of this information may appear quite amateurish, but I have never used LINQ nor Stored Procedures before. I have been a front end developer up until now.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Here is the C# code used so far:
using (MagTestDataContext context = new MagTestDataContext())
{
//create new instance of tblPolicy object
tblPolicy policy = new tblPolicy();
var policyNo = context.spNextPolicyID();
//add values to field
policy.PolicyID = policyNo;
policy.PolicyHolder = tbName.Text;
policy.EMail = tbEmail.Text;
policy.Telephone = tbTelephone.Text;
policy.Address1 = tbAddressLine1.Text;
policy.Address2 = tbAddressLine2.Text;
policy.Address3 = tbAddressLine3.Text;
policy.Address4 = tbAddressLine4.Text;
policy.PostCode = tbPostcode.Text;
policy.ExtraInfo10 = tbInsurer.Text;
policy.ExtraInfo11 = ddReason.Text;
policy.ExtraInfo12 = tbOther.Text;
}
