It would probably be possible, but I would probably rethink why there are database calls inside of the constructor. I would rather split it out into a separate call.

Here's a link to a Microsoft Patterns and Practices article. If it can't answer questions about how to handle database connectivity then I don't know what will:

public class DBClass
     ... 
     public Function GetTable(Sql as String) as DataTable
         Dim Adp as new SqlDataAdapter(sql,CnStr)
         Dim  Dt as New DataTable
         Adp.Fill(Dt)
         Return Dt
     End Function

End Class
.....
....
Dim cs as new DBClass
Dim Ds as new DataSet("TestDS")
Ds.Tables.Add(cs.getTable("Select * from Table1"),"Table1")
...
