function to build sql update string based upon data type

[TJS]

looking for generic function to build sql update string for values coming
from a form.
I've seen these for classic asp but I'm not finding equivalent in asp.net

Googleing did not help so far

Perhaps the easiest way is by using Microsoft's free Data Application Block.
Here's more info:

I want to do something like this but don't know how .net gets the datatype
or which type of database connection to use for updating field
======================

strName = vFldname
intType = Cint(objRS(vFldname).Type)
strNewValue = vFldValue

If strName <> "ID" Then 'skip primary key
Select Case intType
Case 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 17 'number fields
If not IsNumeric(strNewValue) Then strNewValue = Null
Case 11 'yes/no fields
If UCase(strNewValue) = "ON" Then
strNewValue = 1
Else
strNewValue = 0
End If
Case 7,135 'date/time fields
If not IsDate(strNewValue) Then strNewValue = Null
Case Else 'string fields
If Trim(strNewValue) & "" = "" Then strNewValue = Null
End Select

strNewValue = dataPrep(strNewValue)
objRS(strName) = strNewValue

End If
