Would be helpful to know what the error is.

The following line is wrong:
$datagridview1.Rows.Add($Results)

It should be:
$datagridview1.Rows.AddRange($Results)

You are not returning any data in you code so the variable is null. THat is what the error message is telling you.

The following query is wrong. You cannot set a wildcard and use "As Names". You must specify a specific field by name.

Ok thanks So I tried that but still get an error.

This is my line.

$Results = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance localhost -Database playpen -Query "SELECT FirstName As Names FROM Play" | ForEach-Object {
$($_.Names)
}

Gives an error still.

So basically how do I get it to display FirstName, Last Name and Display Name in a grid.

Since Invoke-SqlCmd returns a datatable just assign that to the grid.

Code: Select all

    $p = @{
        ServerInstance = 'localhost'
        Database = 'playpen'
        Query = 'SELECT * FROM Play'
        OutputAs = 'Datatable'
    }
    $dt = Invoke-Sqlcmd @p
    $datagridview1.DataSource = $dt

Which means your SQL is not returning anything.
