You should know than saying "pls help its very urgent" just brings the opposite effect. People here is helping for free in the spare time. So show a bit respect to them. If it is urgent, then use google, search and try it on your own, instead of posting in a forum and waiting for an answer.

It seems there is an issue with query. Please please this article
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/361579/A-Beginners-Tutorial-for-Understanding-ADO-NET. It is in C#, but the concepts are easy to follow. If required, you can use http://converter.telerik.com/ for converting code from C# to VB.NET. Secondly, you can use the AddNewDataSource wizard in Visual Studio, from Data menu, which makes it easy to add a connection string through dialogs.
"Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=DATABASENAME;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=;Password="
