Stored procedure returns int instead of result set

I had a Stored Procedure created in Azure Sql DB and wanted to use it in Entity Framework. Stored Procedures was returning a data set in Sql Server Management Studio but when updated my edmx file and tried to call it from C# code, it was returning a int instead of the result set I was expecting. I found number of users were facing this issue and most of the solutions on net were not working. After spending some 30 minutes I found the solution. In this post I will try to explain the solution steps by step.
Step 1: We need to add SET FMTONLY OFF; as first line of our stored procedure. It will help Entity Framework to find our the list of column Stored Procedure returns.
Step 2: Move to your .edmx and At Model Browser Window/Function Imports find your procedure then double click it. A window will open as shown below

Step 3: Change the return type to complex type and then click on generate complete type button. It will generate a class which will represent the return type of stored procedure.
Now we will be able to use the stored produce and it will return a a list of POCO class which was generated in step 3.

Accessing File Stored in Windows Azure Blob Storage Using jQuery

Did you know it was possible to access the Windows Azure Blob Storage directly from JavaScript, for example using jQuery? At first, it sounds obvious, since Blobs are after all accessible from a public UR. But in practice, there is a very big hurdle: the Web browser’s Same Origine Policy or SOP, that restricts JavaScript code to accessing resources originating from the same site the script was loaded from. This means that you will never be able to load a Windows Azure Blob using XMLHttpRequest for example! Fortunately, there is a popular workaround called JSONP (“JSON with Padding”). The idea behind this technique is that the script tag is not submitted to the SOP: an HTML page can thus load a JavaScript file from any site. So, if you expose your data in an “executable” form in JavaScript, a page will be able to load this data using a script tag. For example: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.sandeepknarware.in/exemple.jsonp”> </script> But how can ...

Support for debugging lambda expressions with Visual Studio 2015

Anyone who uses LINQ (or lambdas in general) and the debugger will quickly discover the dreaded message “Expression cannot contain lambda expressions”. Lack of lambda support has been a limitation of the Visual Studio Debugger ever since Lambdas were added to C# and Visual Basic. With visual studio 2015 Microsoft has added support for debugging lambda expressions. Let’s first look at an example, and then I’ll walk you through current limitations. Example To try this yourself, create a new C# Console app with this code: using System.Diagnostics; using System.Linq; class Program { static void Main() { float[] values = Enumerable.Range(0, 100).Select(i => (float)i / 10).ToArray(); Debugger.Break(); } } Then compile, start debugging, and add “values.Where(v => (int)v == 3).ToArray()” in the Watch window. You’ll be happy to see the same as what the screenshot above shows you. I am using Visual Studio 2015 Preview and it has some limitati...

gcAllowVeryLargeObjects Element

There are numerous new features coming with .NET 4.5 and here, on this blog, you can find several posts about it. But the feature we are goint to talk about today is very exciting, because we were waiting for it more than 10 years. Since .NET 1.0 the memory limit of .NET object is 2GB. This means you cannot for example create array which contains elements with more than 2GB in total. If try to create such array, you will get the OutOfMemoryException. Let’s see an example how to produce OutOfMemoryException. Before that Open Visual Studio 2012, and create C# Console Application, like picture below. First lets create simple struct with two double members like example below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 public struct ComplexNumber { public double Re; public double Im; public ComplexNumber( double re, double im) { ...
