This question seems illogical to me as you are inserting/deleting/updating something than you already know what you have changed. You can just grab that changes based on your choice like the number of records updated etc.

Ly try this:

C#

SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("server=.;database=Northwind;integrated Security=SSPI;");

connection .InfoMessage += new SqlInfoMessageEventHandler(InfoMessageHandler);

static void InfoMessageHandler(object sender, SqlInfoMessageEventArgs e)
{
    string myMsg = e.Message;            
}

The "e.Message" is the message printed out to the message window in SQL Server Management Studio.

SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() always returns the number of rows affected by the command.

check this: SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery Method [^]

RETURN @@ROWCOUNT from the stored procedure returns the number of rows affected

check this: Modifying Data with Stored Procedures[^]

RETURN @@ERROR from stored procedure will return the error

check this: @@ERROR (Transact-SQL)[^]
