How do I get result of dynamic SQL into a variable?


DECLARE @SQLQuery VARCHAR(4000)
SET @SQLQuery = 'SELECT @Query_Result_Count = Count(Column_1) FROM table_A'
DECLARE @Outer_Variable AS INT
EXEC Sp_executesql
@query = @SQLQuery,
@params = N'@Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT',
@Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT
If you can see, we have used “@Query_Result_Count” variable into @SQLQuery which is not declared anywhere before into the declared variable script. This is because we are passing this variable as a parameter into SP_ExecuteSQL statement the same way we are executing the stored procedure. You can check this with “@params = N’@Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT’,” line of statement.
You can get the output of any dynamic SQL into your local SQL variable by declaring that variable first like we did “DECLARE @Outer_Variable AS INT” and then get this variable filled with the values return by executing the SP_ExecuteSQL statement this way “@Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT”. Here “@Query_Result_Count” is the variable that we are passing and using into dynamic SQL.
You can also pass multiple parameters to Sp_ExecuteSQL this way,
@params = N'@Para1 INT, @Para2 Varchar(200), @Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT '
Also you Need to provide values for input parameters like @Para1, and @Para2 by declaring an outer variable or any static values this way:

DECLARE @Outer_Para1 INT
SET @Outer_Para1 = 10
DECLARE @Outer_Para2 VARCHAR(200)
SET @Outer_Para2 = 'Test'
EXEC Sp_executesql
@query = 'SELECT @Query_Result_Count = Count(Column_1) FROM table_A WHERE Column_2 = @Para1 AND Column_3 = @Para2 ',
@params = N'@Para1 INT, @Para2 Varchar(200), @Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT',
@Para1 = @Outer_Para1 , @Para2 = @Outer_Para2, @Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal

Here's how I do it. I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal. Create the interface interface ICustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { int UserId { get ; set ; } string FirstName { get ; set ; } string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipal public class CustomPrincipal : ICustomPrincipal { public IIdentity Identity { get ; private set ; } public bool IsInRole ( string role ) { return false ; } public CustomPrincipal ( string email ) { this . Identity = new GenericIdentity ( email ); } public int UserId { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object. public class CustomPrincipalSerializeMode...

linq orderby multiple columns dynamically

So, it's been a while, but I thought I take moment and do my annual blog post ;). I've been playing around with  ASP.NET MVC  and the Linq stuff for  NHibernate  recently. I was in need of an OrderBy extension method that could take a SQL-Like OrderBy string and sort a IQueryable<> or IEnumerable<> collection. I wrote up an implementation that worked, but I just wasn't satisfied with its internals (quite a bit of reflection to get the correct type to construct a LambdaExpression, etc) At any rate, I couldn't leave well enough alone, and, after a bit of Googling, I ran across this  StackOverflow  answer about Dynamic LINQ OrderBy . The extension method wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but that ApplyOrder method is slick, and solved the portion of my implementation that was bothering me. So, I though I would post up my version in case anybody finds it useful. It handles the following inputs: list.OrderBy( "SomeProperty" ); list.Ord...
