Obtener el valor devuelto del procedimiento almacenado

La solución proporcionada por Daniele no estaba funcionando para mí, hasta que encontré este blog post de Diego Vega , que explica que:

Tendrá que leer los resultados completos antes de poder acceder a los valores de los parámetros de salida (...) Así es como funcionan los procedimientos almacenados y no es específico de esta función EF.

Además, en mi caso, no estaba devolviendo una entidad, solo tenía que ejecutar el procedimiento almacenado, por lo que reemplazé Item por object en _context.Database.SqlQuery<object>.

Aquí está el código de ejemplo:

var code = new SqlParameter("@Code", 1);

var returnCode = new SqlParameter("@ReturnCode", SqlDbType.Int);
returnCode.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

var outParam = new SqlParameter("@StatusLog", SqlDbType.Int);
outParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

var sql = "exec @ReturnCode = spSomeRoutine @Code, @StatusLog OUT";
var data = _context.Database.SqlQuery<object>(sql, returnCode, code, outParam);

// Read the results so that the output variables are accessible
var item = data.FirstOrDefault();

var returnCodeValue = (int)returnCode.Value;
var outParamValue = (int)outParam.Value;

Aquí hay un procedimiento almacenado de muestra:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spSomeRoutine]
    @Code Int,
    @StatusLog INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
    SET @StatusLog = 5
    RETURN 10
END

En el caso de que el proc almacenado no tenga un parámetro de salida, hago lo siguiente, haciendo efectivamente algún Sql que devuelve una instrucción select;

var data = context.Database.SqlQuery<int>(@"declare @num int
exec  @num = myStoredProcThatReturnsInt 
select @num");

var result = data.First();

Puede agregar el procedimiento almacenado como una función EF y luego llamarlo de forma indirecta desde el contexto.

Véase http://www.entityframeworktutorial.net/EntityFramework4.3/execute-stored-procedure-using-dbcontext.aspx

Para más información

Para cualquier persona que trabaje con un archivo EDMX, puede agregar un elemento de generación de código y luego usar el siguiente código t4 para reemplazar el .Context.tt. Creará todo el código para mapear sus procedimientos almacenados utilizando el método:

var returnCode = new SqlParameter("@ReturnCode", SqlDbType.Int);
returnCode.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
var sql = "exec @ReturnCode = spSomeRoutine @Code, @StatusLog OUT";
var data = _context.Database.SqlQuery<object>(sql, returnCode, code, outParam);

Usará SqlQuery cuando haya un conjunto de resultados y ejecutará Qlcommand cuando no lo haya, pero en ambos escenarios el out SqlParameter localSqlExecReturnValue contendrá el código de retorno int de la llamada al procedimiento almacenado. Esto se puede utilizar con otros generadores solo genera código adicional para llamadas a procedimientos almacenados.
