I've felt free to modify a bit your code to what I thought was required:

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Linq

Public Class TableDescription

    Dim conn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim tblName As String = "Contacts"
    Dim tbl As DataTable
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ConnectToAccess()
    End Sub
    Public Sub ConnectToAccess()
        Dim conn As OleDbConnection = Nothing
        Try
            conn = New OleDbConnection
            conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" +
            "Data Source=C:\Users\Public\database1.accdb;" _
            + "Persist Security Info=False;"
            Try
                conn.Open()
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show("Failed to connect to data source")
            End Try
            Dim SqlQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM " + tblName
            Dim datblcontact As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
            datblcontact = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(SqlQuery, conn)
            datblcontact.Fill(ds, tblName)
            Me.ListBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables(tblName)
            Me.ListBox1.DisplayMember = "Name"
            ' save the dataset's ds.table(0):
            tbl = ds.Tables(tblName)
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            If conn IsNot Nothing Then
                conn.Close()
            End If
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub tbID_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles tbID.TextChanged
        Try
            Dim ID1 As Int32 = Int32.Parse(tbID.Text)
            ' select from the saved table 'tbl' those
            ' row(s) whose row.ID = ID1. Furthermore, select
            ' the field 'name': '
            Dim query = tbl.AsEnumerable().Select( _
                Function(row As DataRow) New With
                { _
                    .ID = ID1, _
                    .Name = row.Field(Of String)("Name") _
                })
            Dim IDrow = query(0) ' first selection row '
            ' assign the field 'name' from the first select row: '
            tbName.Text = IDrow.Name
        Catch ex As Exception
            tbName.Text = "Please, enter a valid ID."
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

More concisely, we may write:

    Private Sub tbID_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles tbID.TextChanged
        Try
            Dim ID1 As Int32 = Int32.Parse(tbID.Text)
            Dim query = From row As DataRow In tbl.Rows Where row.Item("ID") = ID1
            tbName.Text = query(0).Item("Name")
        Catch ex As Exception
            tbName.Text = "Please, enter a valid ID."
        End Try
    End Sub
