How to use DbContext.Database.SqlQuery<TElement>(sql, params) with stored procedure? EF Code First CTP5

You should supply the SqlParameter instances in the following way:

context.Database.SqlQuery<myEntityType>(
    "mySpName @param1, @param2, @param3",
    new SqlParameter("param1", param1),
    new SqlParameter("param2", param2),
    new SqlParameter("param3", param3)
);

Also, you can use the "sql" parameter as a format specifier:

context.Database.SqlQuery<MyEntityType>("mySpName @param1 = {0}", param1)

This solution is (only) for SQL Server 2005

You guys are lifesavers, but as @Dan Mork said, you need to add EXEC to the mix. What was tripping me up was:

  • 'EXEC ' before the Proc Name
  • Commas in between Params
  • Chopping off '@' on the Param Definitions (not sure that bit is required though).

:

context.Database.SqlQuery<EntityType>(
    "EXEC ProcName @param1, @param2", 
    new SqlParameter("param1", param1), 
    new SqlParameter("param2", param2)
);
