In this article I will explain with an example, how to delete data from database with Stored Procedure using Dapper library in ASP.Net Core MVC.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net Core (.Net Core 7), please refer my article ASP.Net Core 7: Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 

Installing Dapper package using Nuget

In order to install Dapper library using Nuget, please refer my article Install Dapper from Nuget in Visual Studio.
 
 

Database

I have made use of the following table Customers with the schema as follows.

I have already inserted few records in the table.

Stored Procedure

The following Stored Procedure will be used to Delete data from the SQL Server database.
This Stored Procedure accepts CustomerId parameter, which is used to DELETE the records in Customers Table.
CREATE PROCEDURE [Customers_DeleteCustomer]
    @CustomerId INT
AS
BEGIN
    DELETE FROM [Customers]
    WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId
END
 
 

Model

The Model class consists of following property.
public class CustomerModel
{
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
}
 
 

Namespaces

You will need to import the following namespaces.
using Dapper;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
 
 

Controller

The Controller consists of following Action methods.

Action method for handling GET operation

Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
 

Action method for handling POST operation

This method accepts CustomerModel class object as a parameter.
Inside this Action method, first the connection is read from the ConnectionStrings section of the AppSettings.json file.
Note: For more details on how to read Connection String from AppSettings.json, please refer my article .Net Core 7: Read Connection String from AppSettings.json file.
 
Inside this Action method, the name of the Stored Procedure and the CustomerModel class object is passed to the Execute method of the Dapper library which then deletes the record from the Customers Table.
Note: For more details on Execute method, please refer my article Understanding Dapper Execute in C# and VB.Net.
 
Finally, based on whether the record is deleted or not an appropriate message is set into ViewBag object and View is returned.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; set; }
 
    public HomeController(IConfiguration _configuration)
    {
        this.Configuration = _configuration;
    }
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
 
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Index(CustomerModel model)
    {
        string constr = this.Configuration.GetSection("ConnectionStrings")["MyConn"];
        string spName = "Customers_DeleteCustomer";
        using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))
        {
            //Create a dynamic object for setting Parameter for the Stored Procedure.
            object customer = new
            {
                CustomerId = model.CustomerId
            };
            int i = con.Execute(spName, customer, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
            if (i > 0)
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "Customer record deleted.";
            }
            else
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "Customer not found.";
            }
        }
        return View();
    }
}
 
 

View

HTML Markup

Inside the View, in the very first line the CustomerModel class is declared as Model for the View.
The View consists of an HTML Form which has been created using the following TagHelpers attributes.
asp-action – Name of the Action. In this case the name is Index.
asp-controller – Name of the Controller. In this case the name is Home.
method – It specifies the Form Method i.e. GET or POST. In this case it will be set to POST.
The View also consists of an HTML Table, which consists of a HTML INPUT TextBox created and a Submit Button.
 

Submitting the Form

Whent the Delete Button is clicked then, the ViewBag object is checked for NULL and if it is not NULL then, the value of the ViewBag object is displayed using JavaScript Alert Message Box.
@model Dapper_Delete_SP_Core_MVC.Models.CustomerModel
@addTagHelper*, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@{
      Layout = null;
}
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">
        <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 60px">
                    Id<br />
                    <input type="text" asp-for="CustomerId" style="width:25px;" />
                </td>
                <td style="width: 200px">
                    <br />
                    <input type="submit" value="Delete" />
                </td>
            </tr>
       </table>
       @if (ViewBag.Message != null)
       {
            <script type="text/javascript">
                window.onload = function () {
                    alert("@ViewBag.Message");
                };
            </script>
        }
    </form>
</body>
</html>
