Is there a way to execute SQL custom functions with Enterpise Library? I’ve tried Database.ExecuteScalar() but for some reason it returns null.

This is my function:

Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase('ConnectionString'); DbCommand cmd = db.GetStoredProcCommand('FunctionName'); db.AddInParameter(cmd, 'Value1', DbType.String, Param1Value); db.AddInParameter(cmd, 'Value2', DbType.String, Param2Value); return Convert.ToBoolean(db.ExecuteScalar(cmd));

Here the db.ExecuteScalar(cmd) method returns null. This does not happen with Stored Procedures.

By the way, im using version 4.0

Thanks.

  1. You have to create a select statement which selects the result from the function and execute that.

    ‘SELECT * FROM FunctionName(@Value1, @Value2)’

    Or you can wrap your function call in a procedure and call the procedure, I prefer this.
