Populating Datagrid - sql

Question

I am creating a pageant scoring system,
I have this functions for populating my datagridview's first column using query:
Public Sub searchContestant()
If comboCategory.SelectedIndex <> 0 Then
Dim id As Integer = Login.JudgeBindingSource1.Current("Cont_id")
Dim critID As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(lblID.Text)
'search the contest record by the contest_id
Dim con As New SqlConnection
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
Dim reader2 As SqlDataReader
Dim dt = New DataTable()
Dim nc As New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
DataGridView1.Columns.Clear()
DataGridView1.Rows.Clear()
Try
con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=BROWNIE\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=PSS;Integrated Security=True"
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT * from Criteria where Cat_id = '" & critID & "' ", con)
Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand("SELECT * from Contestant where Cont_id = '" & id.ToString() & "' ", con)
con.Open()
' Execute Query
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
nc.Name = "Contestants"
nc.Width = 250
nc.ReadOnly = True
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(nc)
While reader.Read()
nc = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
nc.Name = "(" & reader.GetString(2) & "%)" & reader.GetString(1)
nc.HeaderText = "(" & reader.GetString(2) & "%)" & reader.GetString(1)
nc.Width = 150
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(nc)
End While
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error while connecting to SQL Server." & ex.Message)
Finally
con.Close() 'Whether there is error or not. Close the connection. '
End Try
Try
'populate contestant rows
con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=BROWNIE\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=PSS;Integrated Security=True"
Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand("SELECT * from Contestant where Cont_id = '" & id.ToString() & "' ", con)
con.Open()
reader2 = cmd2.ExecuteReader()
While reader2.Read()
nc = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
nc.Width = 100
DataGridView1.Rows.Add(reader2.GetString(2).ToString())
End While
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error while connecting to SQL Server." & ex.Message)
Finally
con.Close() 'Whether there is error or not. Close the connection. '
End Try
End If
End Sub
And for succeeding columns :
Public Sub searchCriteria()
Dim con As New SqlConnection
Dim reader4 As SqlDataReader
Dim dt = New DataTable()
Dim nc As New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
DataGridView1.Columns.Clear()
Try
'populate Criteria
con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=BROWNIE\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=PSS;Integrated Security=True"
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT * from Criteria where Cat_id = '" & lblID.Text & "' ", con)
con.Open()
reader4 = cmd.ExecuteReader
While reader4.Read
nc = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
nc.Name = reader4.GetString(1).ToString & Chr(13) & reader4.GetString(2).ToString & "%"
nc.Width = 100
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(nc)
End While
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error while connecting to SQL Server." & ex.Message)
Finally
con.Close() 'Whether there is error or not. Close the connection. '
End Try
End Sub
This is the output:
And everytime a judge login, I insert data into the system with this function:
Public Sub makeTransaction()
Dim con2 As New SqlConnection
'get the judge id upon logging in
Dim judgeID = Login.JudgeBindingSource1.Current("Judge_id")
'get the contest id of the judge
Me.JudgeTableAdapter.FillByJudgeID(Me.PSSDataSet.Judge, judgeID)
Dim JudgeContestid = Login.JudgeBindingSource1.Current("Cont_id")
Me.ContestantTableAdapter.FillByContestID(Me.PSSDataSet.Contestant, JudgeContestid)
'get the contestant id
Me.ContestTableAdapter.FillByContestID(Me.PSSDataSet.Contest, JudgeContestid)
Dim contestID As Integer = ContestBindingSource.Current("Cont_id")
'get the category of the contest
Me.CategoryTableAdapter.FillByContestID(Me.PSSDataSet.Category, Convert.ToInt32(contestID))
For Each Category As DataRow In Me.PSSDataSet.Category.Rows
Me.CriteriaTableAdapter.FillByCategoryID(Me.PSSDataSet.Criteria, Category("Cat_id"))
For Each Contestant As DataRow In Me.PSSDataSet.Contestant.Rows
For Each Criteria As DataRow In Me.PSSDataSet.Criteria.Rows
TransactionsTableAdapter.Insert(JudgeContestid, Contestant("Con_id"), Criteria("Cri_id"), 0)
Next
Next
Next
End Sub
Now my problem is, how can I populate the datagrid using the data recently made by MakeTransaction() function?
