VB.NET SQL DataReader example

Tags: sql, datareader, example
I am new to connecting to SQL DB with VB.NET, I could use an example of connecting to a database, issuing a select command, and reading the data contained in the returned columns/rows.

Assume these parameters:
  Dim SQLconn As String = "Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
    Dim SQLselect As String = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Completed <> " & Chr(34) & "Yes" & Chr(34)
        Dim SQLAdapter As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(SQLselect, SQLconn)

In the above example, the column "Completed" is in "Table1" in "myDatabase", note that my syntax may be incorrect.

Maybe I am on the wrong track, but my plan was to run the select query and loop through the data rows returned, assigning the text of textboxes in my application to the text from columns returned.  But, I need the datareader data to loop through.

Thanks in advance.
