    This is a question that is going to take you doing a bit of research. There are a plethora of tutorials on the internet on how to access data. Below I’ve included one way that you can return a single value for you to get started with. You’ll need to include System.Data.SqlClient.

    // See http://www.connectionstrings.com/ for how to build your connection string
SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection("Your Connection String");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
Object returnValue;

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Customers";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;

sqlConnection1.Open();

returnValue = cmd.ExecuteScalar();

sqlConnection1.Close();

    I lifted this example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eeb84awz(v=vs.80).aspx
