        Dim connString As String = "Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=" _
            & csvFileFolder & ";Extended Properties=""Text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited"""
        Dim conn As New Odbc.OdbcConnection(connString)

        'Open a data adapter, specifying the file name to load
        Dim da As New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" & csvFileName & "]", conn)
        'Then fill a data table, which can be bound to a grid
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        da.Fill(dt)
        'MsgBox(dt)


        DataGridView2.DataSource = dt

somebody please help me to resolve the problem

This is just a wild shot, so please don't nail me on it.
But could it be that the datagrid is expecting the column names in the first row?
So you could try to add in the very first line the column names and see what is going on.
OR
There is might be a extended option in the connection string where you can define if the first row are column names or not.

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

    dt = CreateDataTableFrom_CSV("Sample.csv", _

    dgv_csv.DataSource = dt

  End Sub

      'If you want to create Headers uncomment the following 
      'and comment out the return ds.Tables(0)
      'Or add the Headers to the csv file on the first line 
      'and change HDR=No to Yes in the connection string. 
      'Which way is easier is up to you.
