There are loads of ways.
Here is the most basic.
Retrieve info:

VB

Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnect)
	con.Open()
	Using com As New SqlCommand("SELECT iD, description FROM myTable", con)
		Using reader As SqlDataReader = com.ExecuteReader()
			While reader.Read()
				Dim id__1 As Integer = CInt(reader("iD"))
				Dim desc As String = DirectCast(reader("description"), String)
				Console.WriteLine("ID: {0}" & vbLf & "    {1}", iD, desc)
			End While
		End Using
	End Using
End Using

Insert new rows:

VB

Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnect)
	con.Open()
	Using com As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO myTable (myColumn1, myColumn2) VALUES (@C1, @C2)", con)
		com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@C1", myValueForColumn1)
		com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@C2", myValueForColumn2)
		com.ExecuteNonQuery()
	End Using
End Using
