In Subsonic 2.1 how do I get a strongly typed object from find?

Question

In Subsonic 2.1 how do I get type T from Find?

        Animal criteria = new Animal();
        IDataReader result = Animal.Find(criteria);

I want result to be of type Animal not IDataReader. How can I convert IDataReader to Animal? I hope there is a SubSonic or Framework method to do this for me.

Try this (from the Getting Started PDF Documentation):

IDataReader result = Animal.Find(criteria);
AnimalCollection coll = new AnimalCollection();
coll.Load(result);
result.Close();

// do something with coll
foreach (Animal anm in coll)
{
    // do something with animal object
}

Thanks for the great answer. I'm now working on getting this into a good extension method: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8154395/ – David Silva Smith Nov 16 '11 at 15:44
