Question

Every time I get something from the db, my code is this:

using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.v3ConnString))
            {
                conn.Open();
                using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand())
                {
                    command.Connection = conn;
                    command.CommandText = "SELECT ...";
                    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("...", ...);
                    using (SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
                    {
                        if (dr.HasRows)
                            someVar = true;
                  }
                }
            }

Instead I want to do myArray = Db.sql("SELECT ...") or something else if there is a better way. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

EDIT: I’m not looking for code to generate SQL for me, rather an easy way of getting an array result from an SQL query.

Checkout Dapper.NET. It’s a lightweight ORM which will simplify this task.
