Hi

I've based my WPF application on the Temphire implementation. How would I call a stored procedure and where would the call be made? 

Would you put it in a service or in the TempHireDbContext : DbContext?


    internal class TempHireDbContext : DbContext
    {
................

        public class Initializer : IDatabaseInitializer<MembershipDbContext>
        {
            public void InitializeDatabase(MembershipDbContext context) {
    
            context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("Call Proc...");
            }
        }

Or is there somewhere else I can call context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand

Thanks,
Joe

If the sproc returns data, then you would call it from a method in the appropriate repository. If the sproc is closer to a process, I would call it from a domain service. Once you map your stored procedure, there will be a method on the EntityManager to call it.

I've tried to follow the Stored procedure queries page as much as possible. 

How do I map the stored procedure? The example uses the EDM Designer.


Here is my entity manager

    public class MembershipEntities : EntityManager
    {
        static MembershipEntities()
        {
            TransactionSettings.Default = new TransactionSettings(TransactionSettings.Default.IsolationLevel,
                                                                  TransactionSettings.Default.Timeout, false);
        }

        public MembershipEntities(EntityManagerContext context)
            : base(context)
        {
        }

        public int GetOrderTotal() {}

        public StoredProcQuery GetOrderTotalQuery() {}

    }


Here is my repository 

        public OrderRepository(IEntityManagerProvider<MembershipEntities> entityManagerProvider)
            : base(entityManagerProvider)
        {
        }

        public new MembershipEntities EntityManager
        {
            get { return (MembershipEntities)base.EntityManager; }
        }

        public int GetOrderTotal()
        {
            var results = EntityManager.GetOrderTotal();

            return results;
        }

    }


Thanks in advance.

My bad, I didn't pick up on the fact that you are using Code-First of course. Entity Framework Code-First does currently not support stored procedures. If I remember correctly from this year's //Build/ conference, sproc support is planned for Entity Framework 6.
 
You'll have to use an EDM or call your stored procedure directly from a server-side method and return the data to the client.

I'm using the WPF Temphire application as a reference implementation, So I've got a WPF Client and a SQL Server.

Is the Server on a Remote Server Method the database Server(SQL Server) or am I missing something?

The EntityServer. The TempHire WPF example as-is is a 2-tier deployment. In this case the EntityServer is deployed locally as part of the AppDomain.
 
http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/deploy-two-tier - http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/deploy-two-tier
 
TempHire WPF can also be deployed n-tier, by deploying an actual application server tier just like in case of TempHire Silverlight.
 
http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/deploy-n-tier - http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/deploy-n-tier
 
In either case it's always the EntityServer that talks to the database. Whether you deploy 2-tier or n-tier doesn't matter, the EntityManager always talks to an EntityServer.

Marcel, how exactly do you 'call your stored procedure directly from a server-side method'?

Every time I try this using a StoredProcQuery with a code first model I get the following exception thrown:
       The FunctionImport 'StoredProcName' could not be found in the container 'DbContextName'

Thanks,

John,
StoreProcQuery doesn't work with Code-First. As stated above, EF Code-First does not currently support stored procedures. You can't call them directly through EF. If you google you'll find several StackOverflow posts and other posts that show how you can currently execute a stored procedure. You would implement any of those approaches that work for your particular case inside of the server-side method. Here's an example for how to call a stored procedure to insert data.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wriju/archive/2011/05/14/code-first-4-1-using-stored-procedure-to-insert-data.aspx - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wriju/ar http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wriju/archive/2011/05/14/code-first-4-1-using-stored-procedure-to-insert-data.aspx - chive/2011/05/14/code-first-4-1-using-stored-procedure-to-insert-data.aspx

and here is another example for how to deal with stored procedures that have output parameters.

I saw those and other similar examples of how to do this with an EntityFramework DBContext, but I have no idea how to get that from the EntityManager that is passed to the Remote Server Call Method.

If this is covered in your docs somewhere, please point me in the right direction.

You don't get it from the EM, you simply create a new instance of your DbContext.

OK, next question:

How do I get the connection string to pass into the DBContext constructor?

Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I can't find it.

I got the connection string from the ConfigurationManager, but I was hoping there was a way to get it from the passed in EntityManager.

Now I am getting the following exception thrown:

{System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:54557/EntityServer.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down).

This could be a number of this. I would debug the server-side method first and make sure that it actually executes without errors.

I finally figured out what I was doing 'wrong'.
I was trying to return the raw results of SqlQuery instead of adding a .ToList()!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Marcel!
