Question

The following code is supposed to run the sys.sp_setapprole stored procedure in my database. It does not. As the code sits right now I’m getting a System.InvalidOperationException with the following inner exception The FunctionImport 'sp_setapprole' could not be found in the container 'XXX'.

Any thoughts how I can execute this stored procedure ?

partial void OnContextCreated()
{
    this.Connection.StateChange += (sender, args) =>
    {
        if (args.CurrentState == ConnectionState.Open)
        {
                var conn = (EntityConnection)sender;
                EntityCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
                cmd.CommandText = "XXX.sp_setapprole";  
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("rolename", "XXX");
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("password", "XXX");
                cmd.ExecuteScalar();
        }
    };


}

Update 1 – Using SqlConnection and SqlCommand causes an InvalidCastException, “Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnection' to type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection'.”
