[2005] (Migration) CNN.Execute(VB6) equivalent in VB2005

[RS_Arm]

Hi.
I'm very new to vb2005. I'm migrating from VB6 to VB2005.
In VB6, I've been using ADODB.connection, In VB2005 I'm using SqlClient.SqlConnection.
My question is: what is the equivalent expression to "CNN.Execute (strSQL)".
(My old code: )

Public CNN As New ADODB.Connection

Public Function ExecuteSQL(strSQL As String) 
CNN.Execute (strSQL)
End Function

Thank you
