I'm creating a datareader from a SqlCommand and I currently store this information in a class with the following

    private object PopulateObjectWithFields(SqlDataReader read, Type className)
    {
        var gd = Activator.CreateInstance(className);
        for (int i = 0; i < read.FieldCount; i++)
        {
            var type = gd.GetType();

            var fi = type.GetField(read.GetName(i));
            if (fi != null)
            {
                if (!Convert.IsDBNull(read[i]))
                {
                    try
                    {
                        fi.SetValue(gd, read[i]);
                    }
                    catch
                    {
                        throw new Exception(string.Format("Unable to set {0}. Class type {1}. DB Type {2}", read.GetName(i), fi.FieldType.Name, read[i].GetType().Name));
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                var pi = type.GetProperty(read.GetName(i));
                if (pi != null)
                {
                    if (!Convert.IsDBNull(read[i]))
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            pi.SetValue(gd, read[i]);
                        }
                        catch
                        {
                            throw new Exception(string.Format("Unable to set {0}. Class type {1}. DB Type {2}", read.GetName(i), fi.FieldType.Name, read[i].GetType().Name));
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return gd;
    }

This works perfectly. What I would like now is to put it in a List<class>, but I can't seem to get it right to create a List<class> dynamically.

Can someone maybe help me out with the syntax?

var MyList = List<MyClass> //This should be dynamically created

using(var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
      while (reader.Read())
      {
           MyList.Add(PopulateObjectWithFields(read, MyClass));
      }
}
