Check your database and see, if you really have any records for the filter criteria you set. From the query, it is clear that you have all the filter fields as varchar, so the query seems okay.

Some optimization point,
You better use parameterized query. This is not a must requirement but always advisable.

I see, you use a dataset to get the count value. This will take more resource. So, I suggest, you use ExecuteScalar.
