but its not working with me.. plz help..

From what i understand, you want to populate the particular class students by selecting the combobox?

if thats your question, the answer is you have to change the query to the following.

Dim sqlquery As String = "select * from frmStudentReg WHERE class like '%" & >ComboBox6.SelectedValue & "%'"

you have to change it as

Dim sqlquery As String = "select * from frmStudentReg WHERE class='"&ComboBox6.SelectedValue"'

Hope this helps you my friend.
