converting resultset from OleDbDataReader into list

Question

Consider a Winforms app connecting to a SQL Server 2008 database and running a SQL SELECT statement:

string myConnectionString = \"Provider=SQLOLEDB         


        

Answer 1

You can try something as (adapt it for your convenience):

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

List dbItems = new List();

while(myReader.Read())
{
   Person objPerson = new Person();

   objPerson.Name = Convert.ToString(myReader["Name"]);
   objPerson.Age = Convert.ToInt32(myReader["Age"]);

   dbItems.Add(objPerson);
}
