Question

I tried below code for cheking SP is alredy exist or not. if not exist i am creating..

But every time it is showing sp is not created…..But my database already have this sp.

Let me know where i am doing mistake.

string checkSP = String.Format(
  "IF OBJECT_ID('{0}', 'U') IS NOT NULL SELECT 'true' ELSE SELECT 'false'", 
  "GP_SOP_AdjustTax");

SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(checkSP, myConnection);
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

if (myConnection == null || myConnection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
    try
    {
        myConnection.Open();
    }
    catch (Exception a)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Error " + a.Message);
    }
}

bool Exist = false;
Exist = Convert.ToBoolean(command.ExecuteScalar());
if (Exist == false)   //false : SP does not exist
{ 
    // here i am writing code for creating SP
}

Try:

if exists(select * from sys.objects where type = 'p' and name = '<procedure name>' )

Also you can check that with c#:

string connString = "";
string query = "select * from sysobjects where type='P' and name='MyStoredProcedureName'";
bool spExists = false;
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
    conn.Open();
    using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(query, conn))
    {
        using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                spExists = true;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}
