In this article I will explain with an example, how to delete 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.

Stored Procedure

The following Stored Procedure will be used to Delete data from MySQL database table.
This Stored Procedure accepts CustomerId parameter, which is used to DELETE the records in Customers Table.
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Customers_DeleteCustomer(
    IN CustomerId INT
)
BEGIN
    DELETE FROM Customers
    WHERE Customers.CustomerId = CustomerId;
END//
DELIMITER ;
 
 

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 System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
 
 

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 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 CustomerId value is fetched from the TextBox and passed as parameter.
Then, using ExecuteNonQuery method record is deleted from Customers Table of MySQL database using Stored Procedure.
Note: For more details on ExecuteNonQuery method, please refer my article Understanding MySqlCommand ExecuteNonQuery 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
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
 
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(CustomerModel customer)
    {
        string spName = "Customers_DeleteCustomer";
        string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
        using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(spName, con))
            {
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CustomerId", customer.CustomerId);
                con.Open();
                int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
 
                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 Html.BeginForm method with the following parameters.
ActionName – Name of the Action. In this case the name is Index.
ControllerName – Name of the Controller. In this case the name is Home.
FormMethod – 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 TextBox created using Html.TextBoxFor method and a Submit button.
 

Submitting the Form

When the Submit 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 Delete_SP_MySQL_MVC.Models.CustomerModel
@{
    Layout = null;
}
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
    {
        <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    Id<br />
                    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CustomerId, new { Style = "width:60px;" })
                </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>
        }
    }
</body>
</html>
