It's hard to understand your end requirement but if you just want to get Database value and then increase by 1 in Database then like sugested by AspDotNetDev you can do in a single statement.
Update MyTable SET MyValue = MyValue + 1; Select MyValue - 1 AS ReturnValue FROM MyTable;
Here you can execute this query for Scaler, and in one DB roundtrip you can achieve your goal.
