Solution 1

you have to add one by one records

while (reader.Read())
{
Lb_Faculty_Name.Items.Add(reader[0].tostring());
}

Solution 2

you have to use loop statement to read the reader and add data to listbox i.e

while (reader.Read())
{
Lb_Faculty_Name.Items.Add(reader.GetString(0));
}

where reader.GetString()
get the row with all colums as given 'reader.GetString(0)' gets the first colum value of the current row
