Executing MySQL sub routine in Entity Framework

Entity framework has an easy and slick way to support MySql. In MySQL stored procedures are called stored routines. Routines can be called from Entity Framework using below syntax:


using (var dbContext = new DatabaseContext())
{
  var subRoutine = string.Format("CALL StoredRoutineName('{0}','{1}')", value1, value2);
   signInAttempts = dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<int>(subRoutine,
                     new MySqlParameter("value1", value1),
                     new MySqlParameter("value2", value2)).FirstOrDefault();

}
