    Assuming you already have the DataTable, you can do:

    DataRows row = MyDataTable.Select("Value = 7")[0];
string name = (string)row["name"];

    Of course, if you are retrieving the DataTable only for this purpose, it is better to only select the data you need from the database. If this is data you are keeping in memory, then I recommend you go with JMarsch’s suggestion of using a Dictionary.
