Is it totally unecessary to declare the stored proc?

Cmd.CommandType =3D CommandType.StoredProcedure

And is it also unecessary to declare that you want a return value?

Dim pVal As SqlParameter =3D cmd.Parameters.Add("Returnvalue",
SqlDbType.Int)
pVal.Direction =3D ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
Cmd.ExecuteScalar()
int =3D cmd.Parameters("ReturnValue").Value

Am I barking up the wrong tree in assuming this?

Can we see the SP and .NET code? It sounds like something's not
right; I've done a ton of RETURN @@IDENTITY SP's that successfully get
picked up with ExecuteScalar().

I just tried this with an stored procedure that has

RETURN 1111
And ExecuteScalar returned 0.

Right, if all your after is the value returned from your SP such as:

RETURN @@IDENTITY

The ExecuteScalar() is the easiest mechanism to use. You don't have to
create extra parameters or access them after the call. ExecuteScalar()
will provide the value for you and you simply cast it into what you
expect (decimal, int, etc.)

No, my example shows that the ExecuteScalar does NOT work to return
either the ReturnValue or Output parameters.

Yes, you do need to define the parameters and retrieve them post
execution (via ExecuteNonQuery if there is no rowset in the resultset.

Sorry for the confusion.
