Where the data is stored, is not given in the question
If the data is in a DataTable and the format of ID, Date, msg etc. is string then the following code can be used to do the task mentioned in the question

VB

'Dim MessageTable as DataTable
'Data is filled in the DataTable elsewhere in the program

Public Function GetMessage(ByVal FilterDate as String, ByVal FilterID as String) as String
    Dim FilteredRows as DataRow()
    FilteredRows = MessageTable.Select("Date='" & FilterDate & "' and ID='" & FilterID & "'")
    If FilteredRows.Length > 0 then
        Return FilteredRows(0).Item("Message")
    Else
        Return ""
    End if
End Function
'Then to assign the text to TextBox

TextBox1.Text = GetMessage("01/01/2012","10004")
TextBox2.Text = GetMessage("01/01/2012","10002")
TextBox3.Text = GetMessage("01/01/2012","10005")
