TRY THIS WITH ASP.NET USING VB.NET:

Try
txtmsg.Text = ""
OleDbDataAdapter1 = New OleDbDataAdapter("select * from phbook where name like '" & ddl.SelectedItem.Text & "%'", OleDbConnection1)
OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet21, "phbook")
OleDbConnection1.Open()
Dim com As New OleDbCommand
com.Connection = OleDbConnection1
com.CommandText = "select * from phbook"
dg1.DataBind()
Catch ex As Exception
txtmsg.Text = ex.ToString
OleDbConnection1.Close()
