connection.open();    mysqlcommand updatecommand = new mysqlcommand("select concat('(',accounts.name,')',' ',updates.posted_update) posted_update updates inner join accounts on updates.user_id = accounts.id order updates.update_id desc limit 0,25");    updatecommand.connection = connection;    dataset updates = new dataset();    mysqldataadapter mysqladapter = new mysqldataadapter(updatecommand);    mysqladapter.fill(updates, "updates");    listbox1.datasource = updates.tables["updates"];    listbox1.displaymember = "posted_update";    connection.close();
