how to make data access layer C#

Question

Ive been given the task of making a data access layer to connect to a sqlite database for a basic c# application. From what ive been told, I need to have 2 class files, 1 that holds the methods and one that connects to the database. However im not to sure where to start, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance Brian

From the links that you guys have provided it would appear that a data access layer is just a single class file with basic methods such as createDB, AddToDB, GetFromDB and other classes from the project just reference this class file and call those methods.

Is my assumpt above correct? if not i'd like your opinions on this :)
