LINQ for Stored procedure returning Multiple ResultSets

LINQ for Stored procedure returning Multiple ResultSets

When you have SP which is returning multiple recordset and when you try to drag into dbml file then Visual Studio will not able to generate the code for this in the DataContext class.

For this you have to manually write the code into Partial class (present with the dbml file), I usually drag my SP into dbml file and then copy past generated code into partial class and modify, just replace "ISingleResult" with "IMultipleResults".

Let say you have one SP called "GerResources" which is returning two RecordSets

Stored Procedure

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetResource]

( @ResourceID int

)

AS

Begin

Select Id, Value from Employee where ResourceId = @ResourceID

Select Name , Value from Content where ResourceId = @ResourceID

End

NameSpace

using System.Data.Linq;

using System.Data.Linq.Mapping;

using System.Linq;

using System.Linq.Expressions;

DataContext Code

public partial class YourDataContext : System.Data.Linq.DataContext

{

[FunctionAttribute(Name = "dbo.GetResource")]

[ResultType(typeof(Employee))]

[ResultType(typeof(Content))]

public IMultipleResults GetResource(int resourceID)

{

IExecuteResult result = this.ExecuteMethodCall(this, ((MethodInfo)(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod())), resourceID);

return ((IMultipleResults)(result.ReturnValue));

}

}

Content and Employee is Entity class.

public sealed class Employee

{

private int _id;

private string _value;

public int Id

{

get { return _id; }

private set { _id = value; }

}

public string Value

{

get { return _value; }

private set { _value = value; }

}

}

public sealed class Content

{

private int _name;

private string _value;

public int Name

{

get { return _name; }

private set { _name = value; }

}

public string Value

{

get { return _value; }

private set { _value = value; }

}

}

Call DataContext Method

// Create and open the connection

YourDataContext rdc = new YourDataContext();

//Get multiple records from resource (Employee)

List<Employee> emp = result.GetResult<Employee>().ToList();

//Get multiple records from resource (content)

List<Content> cont = result.GetResult<Content>().ToList();

//Read the Data from Employee Object

foreach (Employee e in emp)

{

MessageBox.Show(e.Id + e.Value);

}

//Read the Data from Content Object

foreach (Content c in cont)

{

MessageBox.Show(c.Name + c.Value);

}

To read only Single records from LINQ

Note: If you have single Row returning from SP then use "Single()" method instead of "foreach" loop

//Create and open the connection

YourDataContext rdc = new YourDataContext();

//Get multiple records from resource (Employee)

List<Employee> emp = result.GetResult<Employee>().Single();

//Display the value

MessageBox.Show(e.Id + e.Value);
