raiseerror does not raise exception

Hi friends

i've a stored proc (sql 2005) that'll raiseerror statement when something violated.

but my C# application that calls this stored proc does not any throw exception when this happens !!

i remember visual basic used to through an exception for this type of things.

is it different in C# and how do we handle this scenario ?

Thanks for ur ideas.

can you show us the SP code?

moving thread to the SQL Forums

|||am doing something like below

BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRAN

/* one of below statements may result in error*/
insert into mytable1 values (...blah..)
insert into mytable1 values (...blah..)

COMMIT
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
DECLARE

@.ErrorMessage VARCHAR(4000)
SELECT @.ErrorMessage = 'Message: '+ ERROR_MESSAGE();

raiserror (@.ErrorMessage)
END CATCH;

i used executescalar ,executereader (in C#) but none of them throw any exception but i could access data CATCH returns though|||

Hi prk,

You'll need to specify the severity and state during the RAISERROR call:

raiserror (@.ErrorMessage,16,1)

Cheers,
