You don't. The stored procedure can return a result set (basically, a
select off of a table, or something of that nature).
Once you have the stored procedure, you can call it by using a
SqlCommand object which makes the call. The SqlCommand object will return a
SqlDataReader.
Or, you can attach the same SqlCommand object to the SelectCommand
property of a SqlDataAdapter, which will then populate a DataSet for you
when you call the Fill method.
Hope this helps.
