title: Execute stored procedure using entity framework
body: <p>is it possible to execute a stored procedure using EF, that select records from database from two or more tables using inner join and left outer join.</p>
  
  <p>my point of view is to avoid the method of doing joins in EF or LINQ, which i have many issues with it. </p>
  
  <p>so if i create that procedure, can i call it with parameters from user input, can  assign the result to <code>.ToList()</code> method and then add the result to asp:repeater <code>.DataSource</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I know it may be a strange question, but i want to do this for many reasons
  first, to use EF because i feel more comfortable.
  second, to get rid of using joins in EF.
  third, i read somewhere that using stored procedure will enhance query performance, when used to  call a query frequently.</p>
  
  <p>if any one could help me to answer these questions with an example i would be appreciate. </p>
