I may be misunderstanding your question, but this is pretty much all there is to it to show data in a datagridview.
Just call the method from anywhere and it will display the data in the DataGridView.

Private Sub DisplayDataInDataGridView()
   yourDataGridView.DataSource = Nothing
   Dim con As New MySqlConnection(<your connectionstring>)
   Dim da As MySqlDataAdapter = Nothing
   Dim dt As New DataTable
   Dim SQL As String = ""

   Try
      SQL = "<your select query>"
      con.Open()
      da = New MySqlDataAdapter(SQL, con)
      da.Fill(dt)
      con.Close()
      yourDataGridView.DataSource = dt
   Catch ex As Exception
      If con.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
         con.Close()
      End If
   End Try
End Sub

This is set up in your SQL at line 9 above.

SQL = "SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE Field1='" & textbox.text & "'"
