You don't set any sql command for SqlDataAdapter, and don't set DataSource properly.

    da = new SqlDataAdapter(txtSqlString.Text.Trim(), con);
    da.Fill(ds);
    con.Close();
    dgvResult.ReadOnly = true;
    dgvResult.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

Plus at least wrap it with try .. catch to inform user when it fails. And this is rather dangerous code I should say.
