Add Items to a ListView from a database

I am a Vb nooby and I have trouble to add specific Items to my Listview from a database.

I would like to compare the value of a combobox with a column value of a table.To proof if they are equal like apple = appleWhen they are equal the whole data set should be added to my ListView. (Only data sets which have the equal value like the selected item of the combobox)

Please Help !!

Thanks a lot and best regards
