All the information you need on GridViews and any other .NET controls can be found in the MSDN Library. This resource should get you pointed in the right direction....there are multiple articles on the GridView there. I recommend bookmarking the MSDN Library and using it as your primary resource when developing in .NET.

Please take the time to research the problem before you post your question. The experts here are more than willing to help you with a specific problem but you have to do your part to learn the basics. Please take the time to read over the posting guidelines specifically the section on Before you post your question.

Sorry for the generic response but you didn't make it clear as to what the problem was.

Anyways, it's not as hard as you're making it out to be. Instead of looping through the table and printing each row in a TextBox, use that table as the DataSource for the GridView. Once you've assigned this data source be sure to call the GridView's DataBind() method. This will bind the data to the GridView.

I like to use a DataView instead of a Table because DataViews have paging capabilities which makes life a little easier when doing custom GridView paging.

I would do something like:

Private gridViewDataSource As Data.DataView
 
 Protected Sub btngo_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btngo.Click
 
        Dim dt As Data.DataTable
        Dim query As String
 
        query = "SELECT vehicleregNo FROM [montrealTransactions]WHERE MONTH(RentedOn) = '" _
        & ddlmonth.SelectedValue & "'  AND year(RentedOn) = '" & ddlyear.SelectedValue & "'"
 
        dt = DB.QuerySelect(query)
        If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
          gridViewDataSource = new Data.DataView(dt)
          theGridView.DataSource = gridViewDataSource
          theGridView.DataBind()
        End If
    End Sub

I'm almost certain that the source I linked you to in my previous reply would have covered this :)
