Instead of using a ADODB.Recordset (which is quite out dated) consider updating your code to use the tools that .NET provides you with to connect to the database and fetch the information.

Check out this quick reference on how to use a database in your program.

I've only briefly worked with ADODB record sets in .NET....
But try changing your:
Public consc As SqlConnection

To be:
Public consc As ADODB.Connectio n


I think you're using the wrong connection object.

Is it not the point of upgrading, to DO just that, UPGRADE?

....
it was this previously..
Public consc As ADODB.Connectio n

i want sql connection so i did change it to this..
Public consc As SqlConnection

Right, but you want to use ADO recordsets instead of regular .NET objects.
I think you need to use "like with like", if you want ado recordsets you need to use the ado connection object, if you want to use the SqlConnection object, you'll need to use the SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, etc objects.

Upgrading is never an easy process
