Introduction

This is database access helper class with easy usage. For more information about designing data access helper classes see section Designing data layers in Application Architecture for .NET: Designing Applications and Services

Requirements

Only one thing you have to do before using this class, is to store your ADO connection string into the web.config file.

Usage

public class DBAudit
{
 public static DataSet TextInfo(string IdCat, string IdTopic, string Lang, Guid IdObject)
 {
  return DB.FillDataset("STORED_PROC_NAME",
   new SqlParameter[] {
        new SqlParameter("@ID_CAT",SqlDbType.VarChar, 8),
        new SqlParameter("@ID_TOPIC",SqlDbType.VarChar, 8),
        new SqlParameter("@LANG",SqlDbType.VarChar, 8),
        new SqlParameter("@ID_OBJEct",SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16)
     },
   new object[] {IdCat, IdTopic, Lang, IdObject});
 }
}
