Executing a stored procedure in mvc4 - sql

Question

I want to execute a insert query in mvc4 on action button,
i have the below action method in my controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(QuestionBank model)
{
try
{
using (var db = new AdminContext())
{
db.Questions.Add(model);
db.SaveChanges();
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
I have related model
public class QuestionBank
{
[Key]
////[DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public string question { get; set; }
}
As we do in simple asp.net application i want to execute that stored procedure on action button.
I don't know whether my approach is right, but please guide me on this.

I'm assuming that you wan't to use the stored procedure approach to execute inserting a question into the database.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(QuestionBank model)
{
try
{
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("[dbo].[sp_addQuestion]", conn) { CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure, CommandTimeout = 0 };
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("question", model.question) { SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Structured });
if (conn.State != ConnectionState.Open)
{
conn.Open();
}
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
//using (var db = new AdminContext())
//{
// db.Questions.Add(model);
// db.SaveChanges();
//}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
Here's the corresponding stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_addQuestion]
#question nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [dbo].[QuestionBank] (Question)
VALUES (#question)
RETURN ##ERROR;
END
