In this article I will explain with an example, how to call MySQL Stored Procedure with Parameters in ASP.Net MVC.
The article explains with a simple example where a Stored Procedure will be passed with a parameter and it returns the matching records. In similar way one can pass multiple parameters.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net MVC, please refer my article ASP.Net MVC Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 

Download and Install the MySQL Connector

You will need to download and install the MySQL Connector in order to connect to the MySQL database in ASP.Net MVC.
Note: For details on how to download and install the MySQL Connector, please refer my article Download, install and reference MySQL Connector in ASP.Net MVC.
 
 

Database

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

Stored Procedure

The following Stored Procedure accepts a parameter custId Integer parameter and is matched with the CustomerId field of the Customers Table of MySQL database.
Then, the matching record is returned from Stored Procedure.
DELIMETER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Customers_GetCustomer(IN custId INT)
BEGIN
    SELECT Name
          ,Country
    FROM Customers
    WHERE CustomerId = custId;
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;
 
 

Controllers

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 Action method accepts TextBox value i.e. CustomerId as parameter.
An object of CustomerModel class is created and the connection is read from the 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.
 
An object of MySqlCommand class is created and CustomerId is added parameter and using ExecuteReader the records are fetched from the MySQL database.
Note: For more details on ExecuteReader, please refer my article Using MySqlCommand ExecuteReader Example in ASP.Net with C# and VB.Net.
 
Finally, the fetched record is returned to the View.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
 
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(int customerId)
    {
        CustomerModel customer = new CustomerModel();
        string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
        string spName = "Customers_GetCustomerById";
        using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(spName, con))
            {
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@custId", customerId);
                con.Open();
                using (MySqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    while (sdr.Read())
                    {
                        customer = (new CustomerModel
                        {
                            Name = sdr["Name"].ToString(),
                            Country = sdr["Country"].ToString()
                        });
                    }
                }
                con.Close();
            }
        }
        return View(customer);
    }
}
 
 

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 a TextBox created using Html.TextBox Helper method and a Submit Button.
 

Submitting the Form

When the Submit Button is clicked then, the CustomerModel class object is checked for NULL and if it is not NULL then the fetched records are displayed in HTML Table.
@model MySQL_Call_SP_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))
    {
        <span>Search:</span>
        @Html.TextBox("CustomerId")
        <input type="submit" value="Search" />
        <hr/>
        if (Model != null)
        {
            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                <tr>
                    <th>Name</th>
                    <th>Country</th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>@Model.Name</td>
                    <td>@Model.Country</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        }
    }
</body>
</html>
