Displaying Data from Database

[Polariss]

I created some code to bind data to a datagrid control however when the user clicks on the button no data is displayed. I am using MySQL as my database system and have Imports System.Data.Odbc added in the beginning of my code. I have also added a control to the webform. I tried the code both without and with the grid on the form. Any help is appreciated. I apologize for being so full of questions but im new to ASP.NET and im trying to get these few issues straight so I can start full out using the features instead of VB 6.0.

Code:

Private Sub cmdView_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdView.Click
        Dim myConn As String
        myConn = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=appserver.domain.net;PORT=3306;DATABASE=database;UID=Username;PASSWORD=Password;OPTION=147458;"
        Dim mySQL As New OdbcConnection(myConn)
        mySQL.Open()
        Dim dg1 As New DataGrid()
        Dim selectQuery As String
        selectQuery = "SELECT type, make, serial, custID, sysID FROM stamissys WHERE type = '" & txtType.Text & "'"
        Dim datacommand As New OdbcCommand(selectQuery, mySQL)
        dg1.DataSource = datacommand.ExecuteReader
        dg1.DataBind()
        mySQL.Close()
    End Sub

ok you need to add dg1 to somethings controls.. Page.Controls.Add(dg1) will append it to the bottom of the page....

Private Sub cmdView_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdView.Click
        Dim myConn As String
        myConn = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=appserver.domain.net;PORT=3306;DATABASE=database;UID=Username;PASSWORD=Password;OPTIO  N=147458;"
        Dim mySQL As New OdbcConnection(myConn)
        mySQL.Open()
        Dim dg1 As New DataGrid()
        Dim selectQuery As String
        selectQuery = "SELECT type, make, serial, custID, sysID FROM stamissys WHERE type = '" & txtType.Text & "'"
        Dim datacommand As New OdbcCommand(selectQuery, mySQL)
        dg1.DataSource = datacommand.ExecuteReader
        dg1.DataBind()
        Controls.Add(dg1);
        mySQL.Close()
    End Sub
