Acquision of data wireless and ComboBox use

Some time ago I began to develop a software to recover datafrom Wireless instruments through amodem.
I have 2 question:

Question N1:

In the program I'm developing, I choose the instrument,using a ComboBox(click a button) and then I wantto appear in the same window a "summary table"that lists the chosen instrument,the direction of the instrument, the via of communication, and other dataconcerning the same.

SUMMARYTABLEBUTTONS

                                      Type    Address       Type of instrumentinstrument channel

                                               Address of the instrument

                                                other data



How could I program thissimpleapplicationinVB.NET, what ToolsI need to apply? some boucle inspecific?Asthe data would be stored in the table?

Question N2:

How i can take the data of the Wireless instruments through a modem? You can give me an exemple please?  what kind the object i need to create and how i can call them.

I thank you in advance for your help.
