[shekhardotnet]

below testing code gives an error "declaratio n expected"
please suggest

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    'Create ADO.NET objects.
    Private myConn As SqlConnection
    Private myCmd As SqlCommand
    Private myReader As SqlDataReader
    Private results As String
    'Create a Connection object.
'here i got error on myConn that is declaration expected
        myConn = New SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=Northwind;" & _
                "Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;")

    'Create a Command object.
       myCmd = myConn.CreateCommand
        myCmd.CommandText = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees"

    'Open the connection.
        myConn.Open()


    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        myReader = myCmd.ExecuteReader()
        'Concatenate the query result into a string.
        Do While myReader.Read()
            results = results & myReader.GetString(0) & vbTab & _
     myReader.GetString(1) & vbLf
        Loop
        'Display results.
        MsgBox(results)
        'Close the reader and the database connection.
        myReader.Close()
        myConn.Close()

    End Sub
End Class

Hmm, the code itself doesn't seem wrong, assuming that connection string is valid.
