I can be completely wrong, but I think the idea of hasrow doesn't read 
the row is just a matter of it not increment the row cursor in the 
datareader so the client still can get the row. So, I think you could 
read the row normally as you do now and just return if there is a row to 
be read or not.

I hope it helps.
