access SqlDataReader using foreach

[jarod1701]

Hi everyone,

is there a way to access every record from a SqlDataReader via
"foreach" ?
I want to write a class which (besides doing some other stuff)
retrieves a recordset using SqlCommand.Exec uteReader().

Something like:

MyDbClass db = new MyDbClass("SELE CT * FROM tblUsers");
foreach(MyRecor dClass record in db.getRecordSet ())
{
Console.WriteLi ne(MyRecordClas s["UserId"]);
}

I know this has something to do with GetEnumerator (which SqlDataReader
implements) but I don't know how to start or if it's possible at all.

I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

The syntax is:

IDataReader dataReader = // something to get an IDataReader
try
{
while (dataReader.Rea d())
{
if (!(dataReader.I sDBNull(0)))
{
Console.WriteLi ne(dataReader.G etString(0));
}
}
{
finally
{
if (!((dataReader == null)))
{
try
{
dataReader.Clos e();
}
catch
{
}
}
}

The CustomerControl ler.cs file has it.

We use smth like List.ForEach:

public int ReadAll(SqlComm and cmd, Action<IDataRec ordaction)
{
if (cmd == null)
throw new ArgumentNullExc eption("cmd");

if (action == null)
throw new ArgumentNullExc eption("action" );

SqlDataReader reader = null;
try
{
OpenConnection( cmd);
reader = cmd.ExecuteRead er();
while (reader.Read())
action(reader);
return reader.RecordsA ffected;
}
finally
{
if (reader != null)
reader.Close();
CloseConnection ();
}
}

and usage:
List<ProductTyp eproducts = new List<ProductTyp e>();

MainDB.ReadAll( cmd, delegate(IDataR ecord record) {
ProductType pt =
(ProductType)Co nvert.ToInt32(r ecord["ProductTyp eId"]);
products.Add(pt );
});

also, you can replace delegate call with yield and use foreach then.
