如果要程序直接连接DB2数据库，必须要有连接数据库的驱动程序，连接的代码，你可以参考如下（以前用C#写的，你改成VB.NET即可，ODBC连接对象）

public OdbcConnection Db2Conn()
{
string str = "DRIVER=IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER;UID=db2admin;PWD=db2admin;AUTHENTICATION=SERVER;PORT=50000;HOSTNAME=192.168.100.98;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;DATABASE=YCDATA";
OdbcConnection Conn = new OdbcConnection(str);
return Conn;
}
如果你是开发桌面程序而又不想在客户端安装数据库的驱动程序，那么你可以采用web网站（含webservice）或者remoting方式，只需要在服务端安装驱动即可

如果楼主熟悉VB6，可以直接在项目中添加ADODB的Com引用，这样你就可以像VB6那样操作数据库了！
另外
.NET
Framework中连接数据库要用到ADO.NET。如果要操作Access数据库，要用到System.Data.OleDb命名空间下的许多类。
比如按楼主所说，“我想在textbox1中显示表一中【一些数据】字段下的第一个内容”：
'首先导入命名空间
Imports
System.Data
Imports
System.Data.OleDb
'然后在某一个事件处理程序中写：
Dim
conn
As
New
OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data
Source=数据库.accdb;Jet
OLEDB:Database
Password=MyDbPassword")
Dim
command
As
New
OleDbCommand("Select
*
From
数据表",
conn)
conn.Open()
'打开数据库连接
Dim
reader
As
OleDbDataReader
=
command.ExecuteReader()
'执行SQL语句，返回OleDbDataReader
对象
Do
While
reader.Read()
'读取一条数据
textbox1.Text
+=
reader("一些数据")
VbCrLf
Loop
reader.Close()
'关闭OleDbDataReader
conn.Close()
'关闭连接
