Reading result from DB reader

Hello,

What is the nicest way to read Database data from reader objecy after making
a SQL query? Do I really need mapper classes with methods like:

// Reader is OleDbDataReader object.
public int GetInt(string column)
{
int data = (reader.IsDBNul l(reader.GetOrd inal(column)))
? (int) 0 : (int)reader[column];
return data;
}

or does C#/dotNET provide any elegant solutions for checking null fields
etc. by it's own?

Well, if you are just going to cast via the indexer, you could use

Get<T>(string column) and replace all "int" with T

Personally I'd also call GetOrdinal once (at the top) to get the index, and
use this (rather than the string) to get the value
If you want specific versions I'd use reader.GetInt32 (columnIndex)

But to answer your original question; not much more elegant than your
example unless I've just missed 'em.
