我在一个宠物项目中谈到了这一点。。你想用什么就用什么。
注意，listex实现了idatareader接口。

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");

或者像下面的例子一样使用对象Map。

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");

看一看http://caprisoft.codeplex.com

您不能简单地（直接地）将datareader转换为list。
您必须遍历datareader中的所有元素并插入到列表中
在示例代码下面

using (drOutput)   
{
            System.Collections.Generic.List<CustomerEntity > arrObjects = new System.Collections.Generic.List<CustomerEntity >();        
            int customerId = drOutput.GetOrdinal("customerId ");
            int CustomerName = drOutput.GetOrdinal("CustomerName ");

        while (drOutput.Read())        
        {
            CustomerEntity obj=new CustomerEntity ();
            obj.customerId = (drOutput[customerId ] != Convert.DBNull) ? drOutput[customerId ].ToString() : null;
            obj.CustomerName = (drOutput[CustomerName ] != Convert.DBNull) ? drOutput[CustomerName ].ToString() : null;
            arrObjects .Add(obj);
        }

}

我知道这个问题很老，而且已经回答了，但是。。。
既然sqldatareader已经实现了ienumerable，为什么需要在记录上创建一个循环？
我一直在使用下面的方法，没有任何问题，也没有任何性能问题：到目前为止，我已经用ilist、list（of t）、ienumerable、ienumerable（of t）、iqueryable和iqueryable（of t）进行了测试

        End Using
    Catch ex As Exception
        Return Nothing
    End Try
End Function

我用这个例子写了下面的方法。
首先，添加命名空间： System.Reflection 例如： T 是返回类型（classname）和 dr 是Map的参数 DataReader c#，调用如下Map方法：

List<Person> personList = new List<Person>();
personList = DataReaderMapToList<Person>(dataReaderForPerson);

这是Map方法：

public static List<T> DataReaderMapToList<T>(IDataReader dr)
{
    List<T> list = new List<T>();
    T obj = default(T);
    while (dr.Read()) {
        obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
        foreach (PropertyInfo prop in obj.GetType().GetProperties()) {
            if (!object.Equals(dr[prop.Name], DBNull.Value)) {
                prop.SetValue(obj, dr[prop.Name], null);
            }
        }
        list.Add(obj);
    }
    return list;
}

vb.net，调用Map方法如下：

Dim personList As New List(Of Person)
personList = DataReaderMapToList(Of Person)(dataReaderForPerson)

这是Map方法：

Public Shared Function DataReaderMapToList(Of T)(ByVal dr As IDataReader) As List(Of T)
        Dim list As New List(Of T)
        Dim obj As T
        While dr.Read()
            obj = Activator.CreateInstance(Of T)()
            For Each prop As PropertyInfo In obj.GetType().GetProperties()
                If Not Object.Equals(dr(prop.Name), DBNull.Value) Then
                    prop.SetValue(obj, dr(prop.Name), Nothing)
                End If
            Next
            list.Add(obj)
        End While
        Return list
    End Function

我见过使用反射和属性或字段属性将数据读取器Map到对象的系统(有点像linqtosql。）它们节省了一点键入时间，并且在为dbnull等编码时可能减少错误的数量。一旦缓存生成的代码，它们也可以比大多数手写代码更快，因此如果您经常这样做，请考虑“高速路”。
请参阅“在.net中对反射的防御”以获取此示例。
然后您可以编写如下代码

class CustomerDTO  
{
    [Field("id")]
    public int? CustomerId;

    [Field("name")]
    public string CustomerName;
}

...

using (DataReader reader = ...)
{    
   List<CustomerDTO> customers = reader.AutoMap<CustomerDTO>()
                                    .ToList();
}

（automap（），是一个扩展方法）
@斯蒂尔加，谢谢你的评论
如果你有能力，你可能会更好地使用nhibernate，ef或linqtosql等，但是在旧的项目上（或由于其他（有时是有效的）原因，例如“不是在这里发明的”，“对存储过程的热爱”等），它并不总是可能使用orm，所以一个更轻的系统可以有助于“袖手旁观”
如果您需要编写大量的idatareader循环，那么您将看到减少编码（和错误）的好处，而不必更改正在处理的系统的体系结构。这并不是说这是一个好的架构开始。。
我假设customerdto不会离开数据访问层，复合对象等将由数据访问层使用dto对象构建。
几年后，我写了这个答案潇洒进入世界的.net，它很可能是一个非常好的起点，为编写你的onw汽车，也许它会完全消除你这样做的需要。

最简单的解决方案：

var dt=new DataTable();
dt.Load(myDataReader);
list<DataRow> dr=dt.AsEnumerable().ToList();

我会（而且已经）开始使用整洁。使用您的示例将类似于（从内存中编写）：

public List<CustomerEntity> GetCustomerList()
{
    using (DbConnection connection = CreateConnection())
    {
        return connection.Query<CustomerEntity>("procToReturnCustomers", commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure).ToList();
    }
}
``` `CreateConnection()` 将处理访问数据库并返回连接。
dapper自动处理数据字段到属性的Map。它还支持多种类型和结果集，速度非常快。
查询返回 `IEnumerable` 因此 `ToList()` .

很明显 @Ian Ringrose 的中心论点，你应该使用一个库，这是最好的单一答案在这里（因此a+1），但对于最小的一次性或演示代码，这里是一个具体的例子 @SLaks 的微妙评论 @Jon Skeet 更精细的（+1'd）答案：

public List<XXX> Load( <<args>> )
{
    using ( var connection = CreateConnection() )
    using ( var command = Create<<ListXXX>>Command( <<args>>, connection ) )
    {
        connection.Open();
        using ( var reader = command.ExecuteReader() )
            return reader.Cast<IDataRecord>()
                .Select( x => new XXX( x.GetString( 0 ), x.GetString( 1 ) ) )
                .ToList();
    }
}

如在 @Jon Skeet 答案是

.Select( x => new XXX( x.GetString( 0 ), x.GetString( 1 ) ) )

位可以提取到助手中（我喜欢将它们转储到查询类中）：

public static XXX FromDataRecord( this IDataRecord record)
    {
        return new XXX( record.GetString( 0 ), record.GetString( 1 ) );
    }

用作：

.Select( FromDataRecord )

更新3月9日至13日：还请参阅一些优秀的更精细的编码技术，以分割出这个答案中的样板文件

我建议为此编写一个扩展方法：

public static IEnumerable<T> Select<T>(this IDataReader reader,
                                       Func<IDataReader, T> projection)
{
    while (reader.Read())
    {
        yield return projection(reader);
    }
}

你就可以用林克的 ToList() 方法将其转换为 List<T> 如果你愿意，像这样：

using (IDataReader reader = ...)
{
    List<Customer> customers = reader.Select(r => new Customer {
        CustomerId = r["id"] is DBNull ? null : r["id"].ToString(),
        CustomerName = r["name"] is DBNull ? null : r["name"].ToString() 
    }).ToList();
}

我真的建议 FromDataReader 中的方法 Customer （或其他地方）：

public static Customer FromDataReader(IDataReader reader) { ... }

这将留下：

using (IDataReader reader = ...)
{
    List<Customer> customers = reader.Select<Customer>(Customer.FromDataReader)
                                     .ToList();
}

（我认为类型推断在这种情况下不起作用，但我可能错了……）
