Storing SQL Select Results into Variable

Question

I have a SQL Connection setup to select ID, Model and Family. The Model and ID are stored into a Dropdownlist. I want to store the Family which is an INT into a variable that can be referenced later. I can't seem to figure out how to store the single value of FAMILY into a variable.

using (SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Database"].ToString()))

            {

                using (SqlCommand myCmd = new SqlCommand())

                {

                    myConn.Open();

                    myCmd.Connection = myConn;

                    myCmd.CommandText = "SELECT ID, MODEL, FAMILY FROM Table ORDER BY SORT_ORDER ASC";

                    myCmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;

                    using (SqlDataReader myReader = myCmd.ExecuteReader())

                    {

                        DropDownListRemote.DataSource = myReader;

                        DropDownListRemote.DataTextField = "MODEL";

                        DropDownListRemote.DataValueField = "ID";

                        DropDownListRemote.DataBind();

                        DropDownListRemote.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select a Model--", "0"));

                        DropDownListRemote.SelectedIndex = 0;

                    }

                }

            }
