微软官方SqlHelper类 数据库辅助操作类 原创

数据库操作类真的没有必要自己去写，因为成熟的类库真的非常完善了，拿来直接用就好，省时省力。

本文就为大家介绍微软官方的程序PetShop4.0中的SqlHelper类，先来做一下简单的介绍，PetShop是一个范例，微软用它来展示.Net企业系统开发的能力。

那SqlHelper中封装了哪些方法呢？

里面的函数一堆，常用的就那几个，无非就是增删改查嘛，来看下几种常用的函数：

1.ExecuteNonQuery 执行增删改
2.ExecuteReader 执行查询
3.ExecuteScalar 返回首行首列

使用方法介绍

Web.config配置

<connectionStrings>	<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="server=127.0.0.1;uid=sa;pwd=ok;database=PetShop;Max Pool Size =512; Min Pool Size=0; Connection Lifetime = 300;packet size=1000;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>

调用函数的写法

sql = "UPDATE Student set Name = @Name WHERE Id = @Id";SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(CommandType.Text, sql, new SqlParameter[]{ new SqlParameter("@Name", name), new SqlParameter("@Id", id)});

这样调用就比较简化，而且比较灵活
