title: Retrieve data from sqlserver in vb.net using entity framework and native sql
body: <p>I want to retrieve data in Winforms using vb.net, entity framework and native sql. I have used the code below which allows me to add data to the sql:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      Dim db As New SampleDBEntities
      Dim bs As New BindingSource
      bs.DataSource = db.Cars.Local
      DataGridView1.DataSource = bs
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I don't know how to fire a query to retrieve data from database. Suppose I want to get all the records from Cars table in my Database named SampleDB.
  So I need <code>"SELECT * FROM Cars"</code>,
  but how to use this query?</p>
