What's the best way to get an Indentity/Unique ID from a record after adding it?

For instance My stored proc is this:

_____________________________________________

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ap_add_download_page

@username varchar(50),
@page_name varchar(50),
@page_desc varchar(200),
@pageid int output

AS

begin

set nocount on

insert into download_pages (page_name, page_description, created_by, created_on)
select @page_name, @page_desc, (select userid from users where email=@username), getdate()

End
GO
____________________________________________

So what's the line I need to add to populate the @Pageid output parameter?

Thanks.

SELECT @pageid = @@IDENTITY

Also have a look at SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT.
