Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader
Dim mySqlConnection As SqlConnection
Dim mySqlCommand As SqlCommand

'your connection properties

Dim mylogin As String = "yourlogin"
Dim mypassword As String = "yourpassword"

mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=" & mydatabaseserver & ";password=" & mypassword & ";user id=" & mylogin)
mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable", mySqlConnection)

'open connection
mySqlConnection.Open()

' Always call Close when done reading.
If Not (myDataReader Is Nothing) Then
