asp.net InsertCommand to return latest insert ID

Question

I'm unable to retrieve the latest inserted id from my SQL Server 2000 db using a typed dataset in asp.NET

I have created a tableadapter and I ticked the "Refresh datatable" and "Generate Insert, Update and Delete statements". This auto-generates the Fill and GetData methods, and the Insert, Update, Select and Delete statements.

I have tried every possible solution in this thread

but I'm still unsuccesfull, it always returns 1(=number of affected rows). I do not want to create a seperate insert method as the auto-generated insertCommand perfectly suits my needs.

As suggested in the thread above, I have tried to update the InsertCommand SQL syntax to add SELECT SCOPY_IDENTITY() or something similar, I have tried to add a parameter of type ReturnValue, but all I get is the number of affected rows.

Does anyone has a different take on this? Thanks in advance! Stijn

Answer 1

I decided to give up, I can't afford to waste any more time on this. I use the Insert statement after which I do a select MAX(id) query to hget the insert ID

If anyone should have a solution, I'll be glad to read it here

Thanks Stijn
