[RESOLVED] result variable of records instead of showing only query

Code:

---


    Private Sub cmdLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                              ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogin.Click

        Dim conn As MySqlConnection

        conn = New MySqlConnection()
        conn.ConnectionString = "server=" & txtServer.Text & ";" _
          & "user id=" & txtUsername.Text & ";" _
          & "password=" & txtPassword.Text & ";" _
          & "database=db1"
        Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand
        Dim SQL As String

        SQL = "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM OUTBOX "
        Try
            conn.Open()
            myCommand.Connection = conn
            myCommand.CommandText = SQL
            myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

            Debug.WriteLine(SQL) '<=====how to show it's result variable of records instead of showing only query

            conn.Close()
        Catch myerror As MySqlException
            MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " & myerror.Message)
        Finally
            conn.Dispose()
        End Try

    End Sub

i supposed it can show the result of count(ID), in this instant it is the number of records
count on the OUTBOX so the debug.writeline is RESULT, instead of now it is showing "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM OUTBOX"
can anybody help me out this problem? thanks

Declare a variable and write

var1 = myCommand.ExecuteScalar()

now print var1.

that's it, resolved
thanks amrita, i really appreciate for your help
i will be back to rate
