Calling SQL Defined function in C#

Question

I have written this scalar function in TSQL:

create function TCupom (@cupom int)
returns float
as
begin
    declare @Tcu float;

    select @Tcu = sum (total) from alteraca2 where pedido = @cupom 

    if (@tcu is  null)
        set @tcu = 0;

    return @tcu;
end

I want to call this function in my C# code. Here's what I have so far:

public void TotalCupom(int cupom)
{ 
    float SAIDA;           
    SqlDataAdapter da2 = new SqlDataAdapter();

    if (conex1.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
    { 
        conex1.Open();
    }

    SqlCommand Totalf = new SqlCommand("Tcupom", conex1);
    SqlParameter code1 = new SqlParameter("@code", SqlDbType.Int);
    code1.Value = cupom ;
    Totalf.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure ;
    SAIDA = Totalf.ExecuteScalar();

    return SAIDA;
}

Answer 1

You can't just call the function name, you will need to write an inline SQL statement which makes use of the UDF:

SqlCommand Totalf = new SqlCommand("SELECT dbo.Tcupom(@code)", conex1);

And remove the CommandType, this isn't a Stored Procedure, its a User Defined Function.

In all:

public void TotalCupom(int cupom)
{ 
    float SAIDA;           
    SqlDataAdapter da2 = new SqlDataAdapter();
    if (conex1.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
    {
        conex1.Open();
    }
    SqlCommand Totalf = new SqlCommand("SELECT dbo.Tcupom(@code)", conex1);
    SqlParameter code1 = new SqlParameter("@code", SqlDbType.Int);
    code1.Value = cupom;
    SAIDA = Totalf.ExecuteScalar();

    return SAIDA;
}
