DATA READER TO DATA TABLE in VB net
A DataReader is a read-only forward-only way of reading data. It is quiet fast when compared to fetching data using a DataSet. Infact internally, a DataSet uses a DataReader to populate itself. However at times, we need the best of both worlds.
A dataset/datatable is extremely handy when it comes to binding it to a control like a GridView. So to make use of both the DataReader and DataTable in the same solution, we can fetch the data using a DataReader and then convert it to a DataTable and bind it to the control. In this article, we will explore how to do the conversion using two approaches; the first one, a direct method by using the DataTable.Load() and the second one, by manually converting a DataReader to a DataTable.
