Searching for string in SQL table (Visual Studio C#) - sql

Question

I am banging my head against the wall with this. I am trying to create a search function for a table in my database. I want to be able to search by ID and by first name + last name.
The search by ID function is working perfect:
if (is_id_search)
{
for (int i = 0; i < rowcount; i++)
{
if (table.Rows[i][0].ToString() == searched_id)
{
MessageBox.Show("Student With ID: " + searched_id + " Found", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
display_searched_info(table.Rows[i]);
break;
}
else
{
if (i == (rowcount - 1))
{
MessageBox.Show("SEARCH FAILED: Student ID Not Found!", "Search Failed!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
}
}
}
But when I try the same with searching by name it can't match the input string and the value in the table, I have even set a MessageBox to pop up on each iteration of the for loop displaying row[i][column].ToString() and it outputs the name I am searching but still says not found (code below):
else
{
for (int i = 0; i < rowcount; i++)
{
MessageBox.Show(table.Rows[i][1].ToString());
if (table.Rows[i][1].ToString() == searched_Fname)
{
MessageBox.Show("Student By Name Of: " + searched_Fname + " Found!", "Success!", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
break;
}
else
{
if (i == (rowcount - 1))
{
MessageBox.Show("Student By The Name Of: " + searched_Fname + " " + searched_Lname + " Not Found",
"Search Failed!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
}
}
}
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated (a couple of screenshots below)

Have you tried changing (table.Rows[i][0].ToString() == searched_Fname) for the String
