Description:
MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader doesn't include an overload accepting MySqlParameter objects when using a MySqlConnection.  However, MySqlHelper DOES include an overload for MySqlParameter objects when using a string object containing the connection string to the database.

How to repeat:
Code blocks utilizing an ideal overload will not compile due to the missing functionality:

string query = "SELECT `baconBits` FROM `ChefSalad` WHERE `owner` = ?OwnerName";

using (MySqlDataReader reader = MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader(DatabaseConnection, query, new MySqlParameter("?OwnerName", "Jim Gaffigan")))
{

      while (reader.Read())
      {

           // ... create data/model objects here

      }

}

Suggested fix:
An overloaded implementation of the MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader method, which accepts a MySqlConnection object along with a params array of MySqlParameters, would be nice.

For the moment, a work around would be to create a MySqlCommand, add in parameters with MySqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("?Parameter", valueObl) then call ExecuteReader on the MySqlCommand.
