Connecting Sql to Vb.net

If anyone could help me with this I would be very greatfull. I am new to vb.net and I am trying to get a combo box to read a field from my sql table. I am using my local server on my computer so I don't have a user name or password. All of the code that I have tried to use gives me a blue line underneath some of my statements saying it has not been declared. If someone could help me out I would be most greatfull!!!!!!!!!!!

imports system.data.sqlclient ???

Since you didn't post any code, it's pretty tough to say where it might be wrong.

This is what i used.

Dim myconnection as sqlconnection
Dim mycommand as sqlcommand
Dim myDatagrid as datagrid

I get blue lines underneath "myconnection, mycommand, and mydatagrid" saying that thier not declaired.

Dim myconnection as new sqlconnection

also with everyone else.

When I use the Dim myconnection as new sqlconnection the blue line is under sqlconnection saying that its not defined?

imports system.data.sqlclient

yeah but the imports has a blue line under it saying it must precede any declarations.

put it topmost

imports blah
public class
.
.
.
end class

thanks

I don't have a user name and password for my local sql, do I just leave that out of the code?

i don't know much about this thing but i think this connectionstring should take care of this

Code:

---

dim cn as new sqlconnection()
cn.connectionstring="integrated security=true;initial catalog=northwind")

---

that is, if your database to access is northwind...
