Saving SqlConnection.InfoMessage to string in Entity Framework 6


How can i catch SqlConnection.InfoMessage and save it into string? I couldn't find any examples so i'm asking here.

Sample operation on database:

        public async Task AddAsync(Items record)
        {
            using (var context = new DBEntities())
            {
                context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
                context.Items.Add(record);
                await context.SaveChangesAsync();
            }
        }

How can i do this on this example?

If i understand correctly it will let me catch PRINT messages and this is exactly what i want to do.

Edit

Am i doing this correctly?

        public async Task AddAsync(Items record)
        {
            using (var context = new DBEntities())
            {
                var con = (SqlConnection)context.Database.Connection;

                context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
                context.Items.Add(record);
                await context.SaveChangesAsync();

                con.InfoMessage += (obj, args) =>
                {
                    SQLServerLogHandler.LogDisplay.LogPrint = args.Message;
                };
            }
        }

I'm interested only in latest message from the server.SQLServerLogHandler.LogDisplay.LogPrint is just static string.


Solution

  • EF6:

    var messages = new List<string>();
    var con = (SqlConnection)db.Database.Connection;
    con.InfoMessage += (s, a) =>
    {
        messages.Add(a.Message);
    };
    db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("print 'foo'");
    

    EF Core:

    var messages = new List<string>();
    var con = (SqlConnection)db.Database.GetDbConnection();
    con.InfoMessage += (s, a) =>
    {
        messages.Add(a.Message);
    };
    db.Database.ExecuteSqlRaw("print 'foo'");
