i want to it ti read datas from the database if the system see the course it will load all teachers that is teaching within the course

For starters
In your Select Query you will need to add a Parameter for @Course.

            cmd.Connection = conn
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
            cmd.CommandText = sSQL
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Course",value of Course)

I also wouldn't open the connection until you have the Command Initialized but thats just me.

A shorter way of coding that would be to reference the controls dynamically as

Dim pbx As PictureBox = Me.Controls("PictureBox" & dr("Course"))
pbx.Tag = dr("FacultyID")
pbx.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(myMS)

That replaces the entire select-case block with three lines of code.

Mmm why don't you make it simple by making a folder that will contain all your pictures that will be used and then on your database just save there the directory address to prevent lot of coding for instance if you want to replace the image. saving to file will also prevent the future freezing on a slow computer memory.
