Question

I have a c# application (2008) that gets data from sql server (2005).
I have a view in sql server that prepares data for display, something like this (simplified):

select Places.Name as [Location], Parts.Name as [Part Name]
from  Places inner join Parts 
on Places.Id=Parts.Location

I have to filter this with “where” statement that is built in code and is like:

where (Places.Id=1 or Places.Id=15) and 
      (Parts.Id=56 or Parts.Id=8 or Parts.Id=32)

I can of course keep the basic select statement in my code, but i likw to have things defined only in one place 🙂 and the question is if there is any way to get the select statement behind the view in sql server? Or to get the contents of stored procedure?
Thanks a lot!
