dbc.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
return db.ExecuteDataSet(dbc);

If you want to return an IEnumerable type without manually constructing it (either from a DataSet or an IDataReader) then you can use accessors.
In your case your could would look like this:
public IEnumerable<UserViewModel> GetUserList()
{
DatabaseProviderFactory factory = new DatabaseProviderFactory();
Database db = factory.Create("MySqlConnection");
IEnumerable<UserViewModel> results = db.ExecuteSprocAccessor<UserViewModel>("uspGetUserList");
return results;
}
This assumes that the UserViewModel can be mapped from the stored procedure result set (e.g. column names are the same name as the property names). If not, then you would need to create a custom mapper. See Retrieving Data as Objects from the Developer's Guide for more information about accessors.
