In this article I will explain with an example, how to select data from MySQL database using Stored Procedure in ASP.Net MVC.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net MVC, please refer my article ASP.Net MVC Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 

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 is used to display the records from MySQL database.
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Customers_GetCustomers()
BEGIN
    SELECT CustomerId, Name,Country
    FROM Customers
END//
DELIMITER ;
 
 

Model

The Model class consists of following properties.
public class CustomerModel
{
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
}
 
 

Namespaces

You will need to import the following namespaces.
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
 
 

Controller

The Controller consists of following Action method.

Action Method for handling GET operation

Inside this Action method, first the connection is read from Web.Config file.
Note: For more details on how to read connection string from Web.Config file, please refer my article Read or Write Connection Strings in Web.Config file using ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.
 
The records are fetched from the Customers Table of MySQL database with Stored Procedure using MySqlDataReader class.
Then, WHILE loop is executed and records are copied into the Generic List collection of CustomerModel class object.
Finally, the Generic List collection of CustomerModel class object is returned to the View.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        string spName = "Customers_GetCustomers";
        string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
 
        List<CustomerModel> customers = new List<CustomerModel>();
        using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(spName, con))
            {
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                con.Open();
                using (MySqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    while (sdr.Read())
                    {
                        customers.Add(new CustomerModel
                        {
                            CustomerId = Convert.ToInt32(sdr["CustomerId"]),
                            Name = sdr["Name"].ToString(),
                            Country = sdr["Country"].ToString()
                        });
                    }
                }
                con.Close();
            }
            return View(customers);
        }
    }
}
 
 

View

HTML Markup

Inside the View, in the very first line the CustomerModel class is declared as IEnumerable which specifies that it will be available as a Collection.
For displaying the records, an HTML Table is used. A FOR EACH loop will be executed over the Model which will generate the HTML Table rows with the Customer records.
@model IEnumerable<CustomerModel>
@using Select_SP_MySQL_MVC.Models
@{
    Layout = null;
}
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
            <th>Customer Id</th>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Country</th>
        </tr>
        @foreach (CustomerModel customer in Model)
        {
            <tr>
                <td>@customer.CustomerId</td>
                <td>@customer.Name</td>
                <td>@customer.Country</td>
            </tr>
        }
    </table>
</body>
</html>
