    Showing a sql query result

    I have the following code in my project:

    Code:
        Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            Dim connectionString As String
            Dim cnn As SqlConnection
            Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
            'the connection string to the SQL server'
            connectionString = "Data Source=10.2.1.41;Initial Catalog=MDR;uid=xxxx;password=xxxxxxxx"
            cnn = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
            cnn.Open()
            'the SQL query'
            myCommand = New SqlCommand("select payrolldate from payroll where payrolldate <= getdate (), select dateadd (day, 7, Getdate())")
            cnn.Close()
            Dim ButtonDialogResult As DialogResult
            ButtonDialogResult = MessageBox.Show("The next date available to you is", "Payroll", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
            If ButtonDialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
                Button2.Enabled = True
                Button1.Enabled = False
            End If
        End Sub
    End Class
    And what I'm needing to do is to show in my messagebox.show the date from the sql query that I ran before this. I know that I havent declared a variable in that statement but I'm having a bit of a lapse today and was just wondering how to show that result in my messagebox.show .

    Thanks
