In this articles describes how to bind DataGridView in vb.net. Here I am using SqlDataAdapter to fill dataset and then give dataset as DataSource for the grid.
Private Sub BindGrid()
Dim DbConnector As String = "Data Source=****;InitialCatalog=****; User Id=sa; Password=*****"
Try
Dim ds As New DataSet
Using cn As New SqlConnection(DbConnector)
cn.Open()
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = cn.CreateCommand()
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from dbo.tbl_Employee"
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
da.Fill(ds)
cn.Close()
End Using
grid.DataSource = ds
Catch ex As Exception
Write(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
