Solution 2

Alternatively to solution #1 by OriginalGriff[^], here is another way:

C#

DataRow dr = ds.Tables["Transfer"].Rows[0];
txt_Name.Text = string.Concat(dr["FNAME"].ToString().Trim(), " ", dr["LNAME"].ToString().Trim());

Solution 1

For starter, don't use SELECT * FROM ... - it's a much better idea to list the columns you wish to return as it future proofs your app as well as not wasting bandwidth on data you aren't going to use.

And if you do, you can combine fields in SQL:

SQL

SELECT EmpNo, FName + ' ' + LName AS [Name] FROM Transfer ORDER BY EmpNo

Problem it picks only the first field only and the expected result is not achieved

SqlConnection connect = new SqlConnection();
connect.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["WEBHR"].ConnectionString;
connect.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(@"Select TRANS_NO,IDNO,EMPNO,LNAME+' '+FNAME AS [NAME],
CURR_BRANAME,CURR_BRANCH,CURR_DEPT,CURR_DEPTNAME,CURR_SECTNAME,
CURR_SECTN,TRANS_TYPE,DEPT,DEPTNAME,BRANAME,BRANCH,SECTNAME,SECTN,
SUP_NAME,SUP_NO,TRANDATE,EFF_DATE,GRANT1
from Transfer order by empno", connect);

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "Transfer");

txt_Trans.Text = ds.Tables["Transfer"].Rows[0]["TRANS_NO"].ToString();
txt_Code.Text = ds.Tables["Transfer"].Rows[0]["IDNO"].ToString();
txt_Empno.Text = ds.Tables["Transfer"].Rows[0]["EMPNO"].ToString();
txt_Name.Text = ds.Tables["Transfer"].Rows[0]["NAME"].ToString();
