How to get last inserted id?

Question

I have this code:

string insertSql = 
    "INSERT INTO aspnet_GameProfiles(UserId,GameId) VALUES(@UserId, @GameId)";

using (SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString))
{
   myConnection.Open();

   SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(insertSql, myConnection);

   myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserId", newUserId);
   myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GameId", newGameId);

   myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

   myConnection.Close();
}

When I insert into this table, I have an auto_increment int primary key column called GamesProfileId, how can i get the last inserted one after this so I can use that id to insert into another table?

Answer 1

For SQL Server 2005+, if there is no insert trigger, then change the insert statement (all one line, split for clarity here) to this

INSERT INTO aspnet_GameProfiles(UserId,GameId)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
VALUES(@UserId, @GameId)

For SQL Server 2000, or if there is an insert trigger:

INSERT INTO aspnet_GameProfiles(UserId,GameId) 
VALUES(@UserId, @GameId);
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

And then

 Int32 newId = (Int32) myCommand.ExecuteScalar();
