How do I load data to a list from a dataReader?

Question

Hi all, I am tryin to add data to my list object.
For a string, I just say, this.name = myDaraReader["test"]toTring(); How do I go about doing that for a list?

Answer 1

List<string> nameList = new List<string>();
nameList.Add(myDaraReader["test"]toTring());

//Note: I just added what you typed above instead of fixing the syntax.

Here are a few links for reading on the two topics List and DataReader

Answer 2

Maybe there is more to this than I see but is there a reason you can't just write

theList.Add(myDataReader["test"].toString());

I think that will work unless I am missing something..
