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

List of what? Do you have a class setup that has properties for name and finalconc? Saying you do, and it looks like this:

public class QueryResult
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    //not sure what finalconc type would be, so here just using string
    public string FinalConc { get; set; }
}

Then you would do something like this:

var queryResults = new List();
using(var myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader())
{
    while(myReader.Read())
    {
        queryResults.Add(new QueryResult
            { 
                Name = myReader.GetString(myReader.GetOrdinal("name")), 
                FinalConc = myReader.GetString(myReader.GetOrdinal("finalconc"))
            });
    }
}
