How to create a C# class whose attributes are rows in a database table with ADO.NET?

At the moment I have the following class:

public class myActions
{
    public const string Create = "Create";
    public const string Read = "Read";
    public const string Update = "Update";
    public const string Delete = "Delete";
}

However, if the table called Action in the DB changes (adds or deletes possible actions), I do not want to modify the application in order to support the new action. So, my question is: how to keep this class updated with the actions stored in the DB and be able to use this actions throughout the application?

Update: The table in the database has only two columns: idAction, Name.

It appears that you are not using the database, but instead creating a class which mirrors the data you have in a database table.

You should start by understanding the notions of using data in your application.
