Question

I have a SQL stored procedure that OUTPUTs the number to a row after I insert of few records. The query works great and returns what I need, although. I would like to take the output from the query and read it into a label. Can someone shine a little light? Thanks.

            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@spName", txt_Name.Text));
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@spSource", txt_Source.Text));
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@spDateCreated", txt_DateCreated.Text));

            paramReturnNumber = cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@out", SqlDbType.NVarChar);
            paramReturnNumber.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

The Query:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usps_InsertIntoMedia]
@spName varchar(100),
@spSource varchar(100),
@spDateCreated datetime
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;  
DECLARE @out nvarchar
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Media (Name, Source, DateCreated)
OUTPUT inserted.Number 
VALUES(@spName,@spSource,@spDateCreated )   

Select @out = Media.Number
FROM Media  
END

The solution to this problem was to specify the OUTPUT parameter using the SET statment.
