If I am getting it right you are trying to create a List of the same data-type, after fetching data from database, you can try this

First, create a class of data-type which you want, example

 public class Student
        {
            public int ID { get; set; }
            public string Name { get; set; }
            public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }

        }

then get data from the database and save it in a List of Student type

 List<Student> student = new List<Student>();
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=Student.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from Student", conn);
            SqlDataReader dr;
            try
            {
                conn.Open();
                dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                while (dr.Read())
                {
                    student.Add(new Student()
                    {
                        ID = dr.GetInt32(dr.GetOrdinal("ID")),
                        Name = dr.GetString(dr.GetOrdinal("Name")),
                        DateOfBirth = dr.GetDateTime(dr.GetOrdinal("DateOfBirth"))
                    });
                    
                }
                dr.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception exp)
            {

                throw;
            }
            finally
            {
                
                conn.Close();
            }

That's it, let me know if this helps you

Btw, I have already mentioned the connection to the database in web.config file. Do I need to write the connection part again in the code as you had shown in the code? I'm using Ado.net technique. 0

No, you don't need to write your connection string again, you can fetch it from web.config file using this code System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connectionStringName"].ConnectionString; 0
