It means that the number of values specified in your VALUES clause on the INSERT statement is not equal to the total number of columns in the table. You must specify the columnname if you only try to insert on selected columns.

Another one, since you are using ADO.Net , always parameterized your query to avoid SQL Injection. What you are doing right now is you are defeating the use of sqlCommand.

ex

Dim query as String = String.Empty
query &= "INSERT INTO student (colName, colID, colPhone, "
query &= "                     colBranch, colCourse, coldblFee)  "
query &= "VALUES (@colName,@colID, @colPhone, @colBranch,@colCourse, @coldblFee)"

Using conn as New SqlConnection("connectionStringHere")
    Using comm As New SqlCommand()
        With comm
            .Connection = conn
            .CommandType = CommandType.Text
            .CommandText = query
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@colName", strName)
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@colID", strId)
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@colPhone", strPhone)
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@colBranch", strBranch)
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@colCourse", strCourse)
            .Parameters.AddWithValue("@coldblFee", dblFee)
        End With
        Try
            conn.open()
            comm.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Catch(ex as SqlException)
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString(), "Error Message")
        End Try
    End Using
End USing 

PS: Please change the column names specified in the query to the original column found in your table.

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Public Class Form2

Dim myconnection As SqlConnection

Dim mycommand As SqlCommand

Dim dr As SqlDataReader

Dim dr1 As SqlDataReader

Dim ra As Integer


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click


    myconnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;uid=root;pwd=;database=simple")

    'you need to provide password for sql server

    myconnection.Open()

    mycommand = New SqlCommand("insert into tbl_cus([name],[class],[phone],[address]) values ('" & TextBox1.Text & "','" & TextBox2.Text & "','" & TextBox3.Text & "','" & TextBox4.Text & "')", myconnection)

    mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

    MessageBox.Show("New Row Inserted" & ra)

    myconnection.Close()

End Sub

End Class
