Don't use a Data Adapter. That just over-complicates things in this case. Try:

Using SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString)

    sql = "insert into model (no, firstname, lastname)" & _ 
        " values (@val1, @val2, @val3)"

    Dim SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection)

    command.Parameters.Add("val1", TextBox1.Text)
    command.Parameters.Add("val2", TextBox2.Text)
    command.Parameters.Add("val3", TextBox3.Text)

    command.ExecuteNonQuery()

End Using

This way, you don't have to worry about the Adapter (since you're not using a GridView) and you're using parameterized queries rather than dynamically building SQL (which allows for SQL Injection attacks).

How do you confirm that the data was not inserted?

I suspect your issue may be related to using User Instances of SQL Express. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264564%28SQL.90%29.aspx
