Convert rows from a data reader into typed results

Question

I\'m using a third party library which returns a data reader. I would like a simple way and as generic as possible to convert it into a List of objects.
For example, say

Answer 1

I found this solution.

var cmd = ctx.Connection.CreateCommand();

T result = DbDataReaderdHelper.Fill(cmd)

public static class DbDataReaderdHelper
{
    public static List Fill(DbCommand dbCommand) where T : new()
    {
        List result = new List();
        var reader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader();

        if (reader.HasRows)
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Type type = typeof(T);
                T obj = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
                PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties();

                foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
                {
                    var value = reader[property.Name];

                    try
                    {
                        if (value != null)
                        {
                            var convertedValue = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(property.PropertyType).ConvertFromInvariantString(value.ToString());

                            property.SetValue(obj, convertedValue);
                        }
                    }
                    catch {}
                }
                result.Add(obj);
            }
        }

        reader.Close();

        return result;
    }
}
