什么叫SqlHelper，通过简单的翻译，可以获得这是对Sql的帮助，那么它到底对我们的Sql做出了什么样的帮助呢？
在一款软件的设计编程中，总是会对数据库有连接的。如果你用的是SqlServer的数据库，那么SqlHelper就会对你的编程减少一定的代码。如果你用别的数据库，当然，还会有相应数据库的Helper来帮助我们的。
对于数据的处理，无非就是查询和更新（添加，删除和更新）这两大类。对于每类又有分为有参操作和无参操作。这样我们就把对数据库的操作抽象出四个方法，放在一起，就构成了我们的这个Helper。
下面就来看看我的SqlHelper是如何生成的吧。

抽象封装好了一个函数，那么我们该如何去调用呢？
<span style="font-size:18px;"> Dim cmdText As String
cmdText = "select * from card_student where CardID =@CardID" '查询语句
Dim helper As New SqlHelper
Dim sqlparameter As SqlParameter() = {New SqlParameter("@CardID", card.CardID)} '添加参数
Dim dt As DataTable
dt = helper.ExecSelect(cmdText, CommandType.Text, sqlparameter) '调用sqlHelper</span>
<span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Return dt '返回DataTable</span>对于SqlHelper的叙述就先到此结束，听说SqlHelper的强大不仅仅在与此，更强大的还等着我去探寻。加油。
