  cmd.Connection = exactTargetConnection;
  exactTargetConnection.Open();
  try
  {
    ExactTargetDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    while (reader.Read())
    {
      for (int i=0;i<reader.FieldCount;i++)
      {
        Console.Write("\t"+reader[i]);

      Console.WriteLine();
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    exactTargetConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub FetchResults(ByVal exactTargetConnection As ExactTargetConnection)
  Dim cmd As ExactTargetCommand = New ExactTargetCommand("SELECT * FROM Email")
  cmd.FetchSize = 100
  cmd.Connection = exactTargetConnection
  exactTargetConnection.Open()
  Try
    Dim reader As ExactTargetDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
    While reader.Read()
      Dim i
      For i = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
        Console.Write(String.Concat(" ", reader(i)))
