dataset showing count as 1 when should be 0

[readbanana]

I am filling a dataset from a database. When there are no rows to return it still tells me that the count is 1. I can't figure out what is going wrong. if I look at a visual of the dataset, the row is blank, but the count is 1.

 public static DataSet FillCat2(string current, string previous, string choice)
        {
            DataSet dt = new DataSet();
            string conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[""].ToString();
            try
            {
                using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(conString))
                {
                    SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("select distinct " + current + " from ourcategories where " + previous + "='" + choice + "' order by " + current, conn);
 
                    SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(comm);
                    sda.Fill(dt);
 
                    return dt;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                ExceptionLogger.LogException(e);
                throw e;
            }
 
        }
 

Thanks in advance for all the help.

In this case you must check the data in your DB.
1 - Did you test you SQL sentence directly in your db interface to see the real return?
2 - Did you check your app.config to see if the BD you are testing is the same that you are connecting?

I realized that I wasn't filtering by if it was null. so when there was nothing to fill the dataset it was returning a null row. When I filtered by null it works perfectly. Thanks so much for help.
