Question

Usually when I execute a stored proc from C# (ASP.NET 3.5), I have to do the following:

myConnection.Open();

SqlCommand cmd = myConnection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "myProc";

SqlParameter param1 = cmd.Parameters.Add("@param1", SqlDbType.VarChar);
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
param1.Value = txtParam.Text;

SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

Is there a better way of doing this? Is there a way to create a C# class that is somewhat polymorphic that can handle calling a proc like you would a function? (ex. Procs.myProc(param1))

You can really cutback on the # of lines of code by implementing the Enterprise Library..
