If you want to get the last ID of an identity field in SQL you can use SCOPE_IDENTITY()

For example:

SQL

INSERT INTO table1(field1)
VALUES ('test')

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS NewestID

If you want to do this later on, not when inserting a record you would just find the max ID

SQL

SELECT MAX(ID)  AS LastID
FROM table1

thanks! i just want to show the last id of the table in a label, how can i do that?

Run the SQL, select MAX(ID), etc and then put the result into a label. Do you have a database helper class? If not, use SqlCommand and SqlConnection.

Ado.Net is SQL so I am confused as to what you are doing. It sounds like you need to go through some tutorials and get up to speed on it.

You need to run that query somehow. Whatever method you want.

you r right ryanb31,
But, if ur table don't have Identity column then go for this...

SQL

create Procedure Get_LastRow
(@Tname Varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE ('DECLARE GETLAST CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR SELECT ImageName FROM ' + @Tname)
OPEN GETLAST
FETCH LAST FROM GETLAST
CLOSE GETLAST
DEALLOCATE GETLAST
END

Then execute,

SQL

EXEC Get_LastRow 'dbo.Images'
