DBCC CheckIdent message value to application

Hi,
I'm trying to get the value that DBCC CheckIdent is returning, I could
see the message in the query analizer, but I'm unable to get this value into
my application since its not a results set or return value its just a
message, is there a way to accomplish it?, I want to give a way in my
application for the end user to view the next "Identity value" and they
should be able to change it, but I can't get that value.
Thanks in advance

A workaround would be to use OSQL to pipe the result of DBCC CheckIdent
into a textfile and then get the application to read that file.
Another workaround is to select the @.@.identity into a variable immediately
after an insert operation.
But what you're trying to accomplish does not scale too well. In a busy
data entry environment, there's a high probability that you will insert
duplicate values.
Hope this helps,
