Question

I insert a value / new row and I need the ID, but I get an error…

SQL code:

INSERT INTO [StoneTable] ([StoneName]) VALUES (@StoneName)
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Using this code to insert row and getting the ID:

stoneTableTableAdapter = new StoneTableTabelleTableAdapter();
int id = Convert.ToInt32(stoneTableTableAdapter.InsertStoneNameAndReturnId("anything"));
//And on this 2nd Line I got an error

Error message:

There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 2,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = SELECT ]

What’s the problem? In my other project I use the same syntax, with no problems. Tried with @@IDENTITY, as well not working….

See the answer to this question for a suggestion on how to make your example work:

You should change your INSERT to return that inserted ID to you right away (in an OUTPUT clause)
