My table ID is an auto-increment column, I want to get the ID when I insert the record. how can I do so?

this is how I insert the record: 

ds.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO Cases (pName,sDate,pAge,sAge,dAge,sex,status)
                    VALUES ('" + pname.Text + "','" + sdate.Text + "'," + patAge.Text + "," + sage.Text + "," + dage.Text + ",'" + sex.SelectedValue + "','Draft')";

ds.Insert();

ds is an SqlDataSource

    Use SCOPE_IDENTITY()

    Using a SQLCommand:

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Cases (pName,sDate,pAge,sAge,dAge,sex,status)
                    VALUES ('" + pname.Text + "','" + sdate.Text + "'," + patAge.Text + "," + sage.Text + "," + dage.Text + ",'" + sex.SelectedValue + "','Draft'); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()";

int newRecordId = cmd.ExecuteScalar();

    It’s also worth noting that you should parametize your queries to avoid SQL Injection
