invoking a sql server stored proc from mvc controller

Here is an example of calling SP:

using (Entities context = new Entities())
{
  string ConnectionString = (context.Connection as EntityConnection).StoreConnection.ConnectionString;
    SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(ConnectionString);
    builder.ConnectTimeout = 2500;
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString);
    System.Data.Common.DbDataReader sqlReader;
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand())
    {
        cmd.CommandText = "GetEmployeeData";
        cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        cmd.CommandTimeout = 0;

      sqlReader = (System.Data.Common.DbDataReader)cmd.ExecuteReader();
      IEnumerable<EmployeeDetail> empDetails = context.Translate<EmployeeDetail>(sqlReader).ToList();
    }
}

What is the name of your edmx (entity) class?

What is the name of your Stored Procedure?

What (and how many) input parameters does your Stored Procedure have?

In the sproc its just going to be a series of delete statements and its just going to take an id and return the rowcount.  The first example that unknown_routine left does work fine.  I am not sure if I need to wire it up to Entity Framework edmx or not but when I try the delete it works because when I retun back to the View the record is gone and is gone from sql server also.

     public ActionResult Delete(int id)
        {
          

                SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection("server=blahblah");
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();


                cmd.CommandText = "exec dbo.spDeleteVehicleAccidentByAccidentId " + "@AccidentId = " + id.ToString();
                cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
                cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;

                sqlConnection1.Open();
                try
                {
                //Return number of rows
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

                AddFeedbackMessage("The record has been deleted.");

            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
             Logging.LogError(ex);
            }

            return RedirectToAction("Search");
        }

You are using new database connection (not existing database connection).

Also, you are forgetting to close the connection.

It doesnt appear I will need to hook into the edmx to pull this off.  That is subject to change but for now im going with a simpler solution involving a direct connection to sql server.  Thank you both.
