How do you call a stored procedure with Dapper?

During one of my latest renditions of Better Object Relational Mapping with Dapper, the question arose about using stored procedures.

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(CONNECTION_STRING))
{
    var storedProcedureName = "getAllUsers";

    var results = await connection
        .QueryAsync<ApplicationUser>(storedProcedureName, 
                                commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
}

Looking at the code above, calling a stored procedure is similar to calling any other query with Dapper.

But what if your Stored Procedure doesn't return a result? No problem.

ExecuteAsync

works just as well.

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(CONNECTION_STRING))
{
    var storedProcedureName = "deleteAllUsers";

    await connection.ExecuteAsync(storedProcedureName, 
                            commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
}

And there you go! Using stored procedures with Dapper can be a great way to take advantage of the strengths of the database while reducing complexity of your code.
