ADODB::Recordset: RecordCount fetching each Row - c++

Question

I try to receive the numer of records for a Select statement and the record set at once.
The Recordset Object offers the RecordCount Property for this issue.
It works just fine using a static, server-side cursor, but if i view the events in SQL Server Profiler, I realize, that it seems to fetch every row of the whole recordset, just to count the rows.
On the other hand, I can do a MoveLast on the recordset and the Bookmark contains the index of the last row (== Recordcount).
I do not want to use the Bookmark instead of the RecordCount and wonder if someone could explain this behaviour.
If anyone is interessted, I created a small code sample to reproduce it:
::CoInitialize(NULL);
ADODB::_ConnectionPtr pConn;
HRESULT hr;
hr = pConn.CreateInstance(__uuidof(ADODB::Connection));
pConn->CursorLocation = ADODB::adUseServer;
pConn->ConnectionTimeout = 0;
pConn->Provider = "SQLOLEDB";
pConn->Open(bstr_t("Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=s11;Initial Catalog=...;Application Name=DBTEST"), "", "", ADODB::adConnectUnspecified);
// Create Command Object
_variant_t vtRecordsAffected;
ADODB::_CommandPtr cmd;
hr = cmd.CreateInstance(__uuidof(ADODB::Command));
cmd->ActiveConnection = pConn;
cmd->CommandTimeout = 0;
// Create a test table
cmd->CommandText = _bstr_t("create table #mytestingtab (iIdentity INT)");
cmd->Execute(&vtRecordsAffected, NULL, ADODB::adCmdText);
// Populate
cmd->CommandText = _bstr_t(
"DECLARE #iNr INT\r\n"
"SET #iNr = 0\r\n"
"WHILE #iNr < 10000\r\n"
"BEGIN\r\n"
" INSERT INTO #mytestingtab (iIdentity) VALUES (#iNr)\r\n"
" SET #iNr = #iNr + 1\r\n"
"END\r\n"
);
cmd->Execute(&vtRecordsAffected, NULL, ADODB::adCmdText);
// Create a Recordset Object
_variant_t vtEmpty(DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
ADODB::_RecordsetPtr Recordset;
hr = Recordset.CreateInstance(__uuidof(ADODB::Recordset));
Recordset->CursorLocation = ADODB::adUseServer;
cmd->CommandText = _bstr_t(
"SELECT * FROM #mytestingtab"
);
Recordset->PutRefSource(cmd);
Recordset->Open(vtEmpty, vtEmpty, ADODB::adOpenStatic, ADODB::adLockReadOnly, ADODB::adCmdText);
// Move to the Last Row
Recordset->MoveLast();
_variant_t bookmark = Recordset->Bookmark;
// Recordcount
long tmp = Recordset->RecordCount;
Recordset->Close();
pConn->Close();
::CoUninitialize();
Is there a way to use the Recordset Property, without transferring all rows to the client??
