Fetch result from Raw SQL in asp.net MVC3

Question

in controller

public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
    string sql = string.Format("SELECT * FROM emp WHERE empno = {0}", 3195);
    var ret = db.Database.SqlQuery<int>(sql).ToList();

     // I want to fetch above query result here...
     // Above query returns more than 1 rows and more than 1 column
     // Like ret.Column1(row0).value

    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

how can I fetch result in the same function.. i need to perform some calculation here and saved the result in database again.

Answer 1

you need to do like this. Create a ViewModel:

public class EmployeeVM
{
public int Id {get;set;}
public string EmployeeName {get;set;}
}

action:

public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
    string sql = string.Format("SELECT Id,EmployeeName FROM emp WHERE empno = {0}", 3195);
    var ret = db.Database.SqlQuery<EmployeeVM>(sql).ToList();

     /
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

Remember that your model properties name should match the column name of the table, as in my case Id and EmployeeName property are mataching with column name.
