Get an IDataReader from a typed List

I have a List<MyObject> with a million elements. (It is act开发者_运维知识库ually a SubSonic Collection but it is not loaded from the database).

I'm currently using SqlBulkCopy as follows:

private string FastInsertCollection(string tableName, DataTable tableData)
{
    string sqlConn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[SubSonicConfig.DefaultDataProvider.ConnectionStringName].ConnectionString;
    using (SqlBulkCopy s = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConn, SqlBulkCopyOptions.TableLock))
    {
        s.DestinationTableName = tableName;
        s.BatchSize = 5000;
        s.WriteToServer(tableData);
        s.BulkCopyTimeout = SprocTimeout;
        s.Close();
    }
    return sqlConn;
}

I use SubSonic's MyObjectCollection.ToDataTable() to build the DataTable from my collection. However, this duplicates objects in memory and is inefficient. I'd like to use the SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer method that uses an IDataReader instead of a DataTable so that I don't duplicate my collection in memory.

What's the easiest way to get an IDataReader from my list? I suppose I could implement a custom data reader (like here http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/aviwortzel/archive/2008/05/06/implementing-sqlbulkcopy-in-linq-to-sql.aspx) , but there must be something simpler I can do without writing a bunch of generic code.

Edit: It does not appear that one can easily generate an IDataReader from a collection of objects. Accepting current answer even though I was hoping for something built into the framework.

You can use Marc Gravell's FastMember:

IDataReader reader = ObjectReader.Create(myEnumerable); //all columns
IDataReader reader = ObjectReader.Create(myEnumerable, "Id", "Name", "Description");

In addition to abstracting away the creation logic, it also uses IL to get the property/field values, which is faster than reflection.

Nothing like code churn in plain sight: Here is a pretty complete implementation. You can instantiate an IDataReader over IList IEnumerable, IEnumerable (ergo IQueryable). There is no compelling reason to expose a generic type parameter on the reader and by omitting it, I can allow IEnumerable<'a> (anonymous types). See tests.

The source, less xmldocs, is short enough to include here with a couple tests. The rest of the source, with xmldocs, and tests is here under Salient.Data.

Thanks to Sky Sanders for his initial answer, it was a big help.

I wrote a generic version of Sky Sanders' EnumerableDataReader but I made the following changes:

• The reader now support both public properties and public fields.
• The constructor now takes a list of field/property names that should be available in the DataReader. This allows limiting and defining the order of the properties and/or fields so they match the layout of your table. If not list of fields is given, only one field is available, namely the object itself, this way the reader can be used with, for example, a List.
• The original code using the DynamicMethod and the ILGenerator did not work with interfaces and required a code change for structs, so I changed it using Linq.Expressions which seems to work in all cases (and as a bonus it's more compact). The performance for fields is the same as with the ILGenerator, the performance for properties seems marginally slower than with the ILGenerator, but still massively faster then using reflection.
• Maybe this is not a plus-point, but I put all the code in one class (with some helper sub-classes), removing all the unnecessary code. (I'm not saying the code was not useful, I just didn't need it in my case.)

I hope this helps and if you have any remarks, corrections or improvements, please say so :)
