How do I loop through rows with a data reader in C#?

Question

I know I can use while(dr.Read()){...} but that loops every field on my table, I want to retrieve all the values from the first row, and then second... and so o

Answer 1

Or you can try to access the columns directly by name:

while(dr.Read())
{
    string col1 = (string)dr["Value1"];
    string col2 = (string)dr["Value2"];
    string col3 = (string)dr["Value3"];
}
