creating a search button

I want to create a button on my c# form and when I type in a clients id or surname and I press the search button, it should display all his info on the c# form.

This is not working, a message box displays 'clientid' when the button is clicked.

Code in Class

    public bool searchpersonDetails(string personid, string personname)
    {
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]);
        conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=pc101;Initial Catalog=REMITTANCE;User ID=sa;Password=mike";
        conn.Open();


    if (personid == null) 
        {
            Fom1 frm = new Fom1();
            frm.ShowDialog();
            personid = client_id;
        }

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
    string sqlQuery = null;
    //sqlQuery = "select *,floor(datediff(curdate(),dateofbirth)/365) AS AGE from tblspersonaldetails where client_id='" + personid + "'";

    sqlQuery = "select * from tblspersonaldetails where client_id='" + personid + "'";

    cmd.Connection = conn;
    cmd.CommandText = sqlQuery;
    cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;

    SqlDataReader dr = null;
    dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    if (dr.Read()) 
    {
        client_id = dr["clientid"].ToString();
        surname = dr["surname"].ToString();
        othername = dr["othername"].ToString();
        gender = dr["gender"].ToString();
        date_ofbirth = (DateTime) dr["dateofbirth"];
        nationality = dr["nationality"].ToString();
        //age = dr["Age"];
        residential_address = dr["residentialaddress"].ToString();
        postal_address = dr["postaladdress"].ToString();
        contact_number = dr["telephonenumber"].ToString();
        marital_status = dr["maritalstatus"].ToString();
        spouse_name = dr["spousename"].ToString();
        email = dr["email"].ToString();
        occupation = dr["occupation"].ToString();
        typeof_id = dr["typeofid"].ToString();
        id_number = dr["idnumber"].ToString();
        id_expirydate = (DateTime) dr["idexpirydate"];
        remarks = dr["remarks"].ToString();
        picture = dr["picture"].ToString();
        return true;
        cmd.CommandText = null;
    } 

    else 
    {
        return false;
    }
        conn.Close();      
}

Is it Client_id or 'Clientid' in your database? In your query, you mentioned:

sqlQuery = "select * from tblspersonaldetails where client_id='" + personid + "'";    

A few lines down, and you have:

client_id = dr["clientid"].ToString();

You should either change query to Clientid or change the code to dr[client_id] (depending on what the column name is in your database.
