How to search urdu text in SQL Server?

There is no problem inserting urdu text into SQL Server, but I have a problem searchig for urdu text - I keep getting:

0 rows effect

and text (which I want to search) is already in the SQL Server database.

This is my code:

con.Open();

string Query = "Select vendor.VendorID from vendor where vendor.Vendor_Name ='" + textBox4.Text + "'";

SqlDataAdapter SDA = new SqlDataAdapter(Query, con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SDA.Fill(dt);

vend_id = (dt.Rows[0][0]).ToString();
con.Close();

Placing N before string literals makes them unicode in SQL Server. You can do this like:

string Query = "Select vendor.VendorID from vendor where vendor.Vendor_Name =N'" + textBox4.Text + "'";

But this is prone to SQL Injection attacks. Please use parametrized queries that will handle unicode as well. Like this:

string Query = "Select vendor.VendorID from vendor where vendor.Vendor_Name =@Name";
//...
SDA.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", textBox4.Text);
