You can use the following code. Code if for MS SQL Server, but if use for example Access database change "SqlConnection" to "OleDbConnection" or "OdbcConnection".

Private Function count() As Long
   SqlConnection connection = New SqlConnection("connectionString")
   SqlCommand command = New SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName WHERE condition = ''",connection)
   SqlDataReader reader

   Long result = 0

   Try
      connection.Open()
      reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehaviour.Default)

      If (reader .Read()) Then
         result = reader.GetValue(0)
      Else
         result = 0
      End If

      connection.Close()
   Catch ex As Exception
      ' ERROR
   End Try

   Return result;
End Function
