          btn.Text = DataTable.Rows[i]["PostCode"].ToString();

If you want to get the name of the first button to be added to the FlowLayoutPanel, regardless of how those buttons got there, use:

 string firstButtonName = flowlayoutpanel.Controls.OfType<Button>().FirstOrDefault()?.Name;

This is the value you are searching for:

DataTable.Rows[0]["Name"].ToString()

but make sure you have at least an element before you try to get this value.
