Connection, dataadapter, dataset all set in code

I'm trying to set everything in code for this application. Here's the code so far:

Imports System.Configuration
Imports System.Collections.Specialized
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Threading

Module ModSubMain

Public cnnCushions As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()

Sub Main()

Dim sAttr As String
sAttr = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")

cnnCushions.ConnectionString = sAttr
cnnCushions.Open()

'Dim sAll As NameValueCollection
'sAll = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings()

Application.Run(New frmMain())


End Sub

End Module




Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Me.Hide()
Dim frm As Splash = New Splash()
frm.ShowDialog(Me)


Dim cmCushions As New SqlCommand("CusType", cnnCushions)
Dim daCushions As New SqlDataAdapter(cmCushions)
Dim dsCushions As New DataSet()
Dim drCushions As DataRow

'fill DataSet
daCushions.Fill(dsCushions, "Type") ******

'adding items with DataRow from DataSet
For Each drCushions In dsCushions.Tables("Type").Rows
cboType.Items.Add(drCushions("Type"))
Next
End Sub

I want to make the connection to the database in the module and the references to the dataadapter & dataset in the form. When I run through this code I receive an error on the line ending with ******

Error msg:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in system.data.dll

Additional information: System error.

Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Thanks,
Corinne

You have "CusType" as your SQL statement, which is not valid. If that is a stored procedure name then try setting the SQLCommand.CommandType to stored procedure before using it.
