Question

I have a query for the SQLCE database like

     select mobileNumber from customers where balance > 10000

Till now, I was looping over the SqlCeResultSet like

     while (resultSet.Read())
     {
         mobileNumberList.Add(resultSet.GetValue(0));
     } 

So I want to get the list of mobile numbers in a single fetch may be as a list. How do i do that? Because the getting in a single fetch will be faster, right?

UPDATE
Few things I read after reading the answers:
SqlDataReader vs SqlDataAdapter

Answer 1

You can use SqlCeDataAdapter to fill DataSet in a single fetch with all the records returned by query.

e.g:

SqlCeDataAdapter adp = new SqlCeDataAdapter("select mobileNumber from customers where balance > 10000");
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adp.Fill(ds);
