Question

I am running a stored procedure from C# Window Service. The stored proc is a quite heavy query and it takes quite a long time.

I want to wait till the stored proc finishes and return the values.

Is there any way to determine that stored proc is finished?

Answer 1

Use the Threading.Tasks. following code will put your thread on wait till the task finish.

public void CallStoredProcMethod()
{
    var task1 = System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Factory.StartNew(() => RunStoredPro());

    // thread will wait there till the operation finish
    task1.Wait();
}

public void RunStoredPro()
{
    using (var connection = new SqlConnection(sqlConnString))
    {
        // your database call
    }
}
