RECORDCOUNT in .NET

I'm just starting out with .NET and I had some question about how to get a recordcount in .NET. I am using the SQLDataReader object do get my select query information, and I need to know how many records are in it...I guess I could loop through and get a count, but it doesn't make sense to do that if there is a better way. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your time and help!

How do you get SqlDataReader? Using ExecuteReader? ExecuteReader returns number of records affected by the executed query.
