I'm guessing that you actually get an error that is caught and ignored somewhere. The SQL statement looks fishy.

select tName
from dbo.tblBankBranch
where nBankID=(select nID from dbo.tblBankBranch where tState='{tbank}')

It will only work if there is a single branch in the state, otherwise you will get an error.

Try writing it as a JOIN. Ignore that, why have tblBankBranch in there twice?

select tName
from dbo.tblBankBranch
where tState='{tbank}'

If the fields nBankID and nID are really different in the single table, and you do want to link them in that way, then the JOIN form is

select A.tName
  from dbo.tblBankBranch A
  join dbo.tblBankBranch B
    on A.nBankID=b.nID AND b.tState='{tbank}'

I'll leave it to you to flatten the statements for use in C#.
