Difference between SqlDataReader.Read and SqlDataReader.NextResult

Question

What is the main difference between these two methods? On the msdn website it is explained like below but I don\'t understand it.

Read Advances the Sql

Answer 1

Not strictly an answer to this question but if you use the DataTable.Load method to consume data from the reader rather than Reader.Read note that after the Load method has completed, the reader is now placed at the start of the next result set so you should not call the NextResult method otherwise you will skip the next resultset.

A simple loop on Reader.HasRows around a DataTable.Load call is all that you need to process potential multiple resultsets in this scenario.
