public DataTable Department()
{
string query = "select *from Department;
DataTable dt = fill(query);
return (dt);
}
public DataSet fill(string query)
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);

SqlDataAdapter adap = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adap.Fill(ds); con.Close();
return (ds);

}

DataTable dt = Department();
DropDown.Items.Clear();
DropDown.Items.Add("--Select--");
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
DropDown.Items.Add(dt.Rows[i]["Name"].ToString());
}

       dt = General_fuction.RecordSearch("select * from Department ", "party")     
       Dim row As DataRow
       cmbdeptyname.Items.Clear()
       For Each row In dt.Rows
           For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count
               cmbdeptyname.Items.Add(row(i).ToString())
