    Search names in MS SQL using VB .net

    Hi All

    I have MS SQL that contains PHONE DATABASE, with table that holds NAMES and Phone numbers.

    I need to be able to connect to the database from VB .NET and search the tables for a name when a user enters the name in a ListBox1.

    Any suggestion of help is well appreciated.

    Thanks

    I recommend that you take a look at the articles in our Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (at the top of this forum), particularly the "ADO.Net Tutorial" in the VB.Net section

    That should help you understand the concepts, and allow you to make a decent start on the code.
