How to print out the contents of reader for SQL

Hi,

I am trying to get the output of reader for get the version of sqlserver.
Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,

$conn = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "server=testserver;integrated
security=true;database=test"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$cmd.CommandText="SELECT @@VERSION"

$cmd.Connection=$conn
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()

I guess, I can do this:

$cmd.CommandText=" SELECT @@Version as version"

$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
While($rdr.Read()){
$version = $rdr['version']
}
$conn.Close()
$version
