Sub cmdGO_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
DataGrid1.DataSource = GetResults(TxtSort.Text)
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub
Function GetResults(ByVal txtSort As String) As
System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String
= "server='(local)'; user id='sa'; password='fritz';
database='Cutis'"
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection =
New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionStri ng)
Dim cmdGO As System.Data.IDbCommand = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand "EMSTONY",
(connectionString)
cmdGO.CommandText = queryString
cmdGO.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

Dim dbParam_txtSort As System.Data.IDataParameter
= New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_txtSort.ParameterName = "@TxtSort"
dbParam_txtSort.Value = txtSort
dbParam_txtSort.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_txtSort)

Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter =
New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New
System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)

Return dataSet
End Function

1. If the wraps exist in your file, and are not an artifact of posting, you
need the continue line character (underscore = _) on the first line

2. It is easier, for me, to code like so:

'NOTE: Items in {} are items you need to fill in
Dim connString As String = "{Your Conn String Here}"
Dim sproc As String = "{sproc name here}"
Dim paramSize as Int = {size of varchar here}

Dim conn As New SqlConnection(connString)
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(sproc)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

'Explicitly create (this is a simpler overload)
Dim param as New SqlParameter("@txtSort", DbType.String, paramSize)
param.Value = txtSort.Text

cmd.Parameters.Add(param)

Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet("{NameOfDataSet}")

da.TableMappings.Add("Table", "{FriendlyResultTableName}")

Try
conn.Open()
da.Fill(ds)
Catch ex As Exception
'Error handling here
Finally
If (conn.State = ConnectionState.Open) Then
conn.Close()
End If

conn.Dispose()
End Try

Return ds
That should give you some ideas, at least
