create a util to count number of records in a recordset

Summary:

often we need to see how many records are in a record set or to see if its empty. isnull or isempyty don't work so we have to manually count it using a for each in recordset and do a count. Rather than do this all the time I thught I would create a util I can call and just pass in the recordset but util doesn't allow me to pas sin a recordset only a string[]

Content (required):

its pretty simple just can't get it to work since the parameter type can't be recordset... I'm assuming there might be a away to convert it
