Question

I am new to Entity Framework, I am trying to bind the gridview with the stored procedure I write as follows

var ietsParameter = new SqlParameter("@ID", 1000);
grdStoreProc.DataSource = entities.ExecuteStoreCommand("selectData2 @ID", ietsParameter);
grdStoreProc.DataBind();

But I am getting an exception

Data source is an invalid type. It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or IDataSource.

Can someone tell me any alternative way to achieve this?

Answer 1

ExecuteStoreCommand is used to execute a command to the database with an int return type that tells how much rows were affected.

You should use ExecuteStoreQuery instead.
