this is my code

Select Case Me.Text

Case "Suppliers Management"
If Me.cboSearch.Text = "Supplier ID" Then

xSQL = "SELECT * FROM suppliers WHERE SuppliersID LIKE '" & Me.txtSearch.Text & "'"
LoadSuppliers(xSQL)

the result of that search would display in the listview what I want is that if there is no value for what I'm searching for then a prompt message would display that error no display how am I going to do that?

Are you asking us to give you all of the code to do that?

Hopefully not, because that's probably not going to happen. But we can give you some tips and pseudo-code.

You'll want to use ADO.NET first. There are many different types, but the SqlAdapter will probably be your best bet. You can use the SqlDataReader class to get the results of your query. Then, pull out the information you need and display it in the ListView. Also, if you're using the LIKE keyword, don't you want to include wildcards? Or is your txtSearch already written with the wildcards?
