Entity Framework: Stored Procedure – Function import

How to…get a stored procedure from SQL and use it in code
In this case execute only, not entity CRUD

  1. Model Browser 
  2. Stored Procedure
  3. Right-click
  4. Update Model from database
  5. Get your stored procedure
  6. However at this point still unusable in code
  7. Not obvious step > Double click Stored Procedure
  8. Choose function import options
  9. OK creates function import which is then useable in code
  10. Note all parameters are surpisingly nullable – May be there is a way preventing this. Unsolved

 

Enjoy !
