Get the id of inserted row using C#
MySqlCommand comm = connect.CreateCommand();
comm.CommandText = insertStatement; // Set the insert statement
comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); // Execute the command
long id = comm.LastInsertedId; // Get the ID of the inserted item
[Edit: added "select" before references to last_insert_id()]
What about running "select last_insert_id();
" after your insert?
MySqlCommand comm = connect.CreateCommand();
comm.CommandText = insertInvoice;
comm.CommandText += "\'" + invoiceDate.ToString("yyyy:MM:dd hh:mm:ss") + "\', "
+ bookFee + ", " + adminFee + ", " + totalFee + ", " + customerID + ");";
+ "select last_insert_id();"
int id = Convert.ToInt32(comm.ExecuteScalar());
Edit: As duffymo mentioned, you really would be well served using parameterized queries like this.
Edit: Until you switch over to a parameterized version, you might find peace with string.Format:
comm.CommandText = string.Format("{0} '{1}', {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}); select last_insert_id();",
insertInvoice, invoiceDate.ToString(...), bookFee, adminFee, totalFee, customerID);
Use LastInsertedId.
