How to use stored procedure on MVC 5 with DbContext? - stored-procedures

Question

In SQL 2008 Query I just execute and it returns 1 if successful. Now how do I do this in MVC 5 EF dbcontext?
usp_CreateNewAccount usernamehere, passwordhere, emailhere
I created my Controller item using the Entity Framework, and edit the controller Create method.
db.Users.Add(user);
db.Users.SqlQuery("usp_CreateNewAccount fsdfsdf, sdfsdfsd, dasda");
db.SaveChanges();
it gives no result. I can't create user. Any possible solution?

Suppose you have stored procedure usp_CreateNewAccount:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_CreateNewAccount
#usernamehere NVARCHAR(...),
#passwordhere NVARCHAR(...),
#emailhere NVARCHAR(...)
AS
BEGIN
-- insert query here
END
Then you can use DbContext.Database.SqlQuery with parameters like this one:
using (var db = new DataContext()) // DataContext is your DBContext name
{
var userName = new SqlParameter()
{
ParameterName = "usernamehere",
DbType = DbType.String,
Value = "fsdfsdf"
};
var password = new SqlParameter()
{
ParameterName = "passwordhere",
DbType = DbType.String,
Value = "sdfsdfsd"
};
var email = new SqlParameter()
{
ParameterName = "emailhere",
DbType = DbType.String,
Value = "dasda"
};
// suppose "User" table exists with "db.Users" as DbSet<User> collection
db.Database.SqlQuery<User>("EXEC usp_CreateNewAccount {0}, {1}, {2}", new Object[] { userName, password, email });
}
There's no reason to use db.Users.Add and db.SaveChanges method here since insert and save operation already handled by stored procedure query.
