C# - Substitute For Microsoft Data Access ApplicationBlocks Obsolete SqlHelper Class?

It looks that the old SqlHelper class from the Microsoft Enterprise Library has been mostly replaced by the Database class which is included in the new Enterprise Library version 5.

I have a very simple and trivial example:
using Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data;
private void PopulateCheckBoxGroup()
{
const string strConnTxt = "Server=(local);Database=DataBindTests;Integrated Security=True;";
const string strlSql = "select Technology from PreferredTechnology where ParentId = 1";
CheckBoxList1.DataSource = SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(strConnTxt, CommandType.Text, strlSql);
CheckBoxList1.DataTextField = "Technology";
CheckBoxList1.DataBind();
}
