How can I easily convert DataReader to List? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I've covered this in a pet project.. use what you want.

Note that the ListEx implements the IDataReader interface.

people = new ListExCommand(command)
.Map(p=> new ContactPerson()
{
  Age = p.GetInt32(p.GetOrdinal("Age")),
  FirstName = p.GetString(p.GetOrdinal("FirstName")),
  IdNumber = p.GetInt64(p.GetOrdinal("IdNumber")),
  Surname = p.GetString(p.GetOrdinal("Surname")),
  Email = "z.evans@caprisoft.co.za"
})
.ToListEx()
.Where("FirstName", "Peter");

Or use object mapping like in the following example.

people = new ListExAutoMap(personList)
.Map(p => new ContactPerson()
{
    Age = p.Age,
    FirstName = p.FirstName,
    IdNumber = p.IdNumber,
    Surname = p.Surname,
    Email = "z.evans@caprisoft.co.za"
})
.ToListEx()
.Where(contactPerson => contactPerson.FirstName == "Zack");
