populating dropdown list from odbc connection

'i'm trying to populate a dropdown list from a column in an odbc
connection. this is what i have so far and i seem to be lost. i
don't understand how to go from the data adapter to populating the
drop down.

dim conndb as data.odbc.odbcconnection
try
conndb = new data.odbc.odbcconnection
conndb.connectionstring = "DSN=DBConnection"
conndb.open ()
Dim connA As New Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("select Dept_grp from plu",
connDB)
Dim odbcAdapter As New Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(connA)

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Error: " & ex.Message)
connDB.Close()
End Try
