i have a situation here.
when ever i try to compare any string(containing apostrophe ' eg O'Rielly ) from my application with database, i get an error.
the solution i got for this is to replace apostrophe with double apostrophe

string .replace("'","''")

and it works too but i have many operations where i have to compare with database and it would be hectic to place this code in every operation, is there any other way that helps me call this code snippet(replace) everywhere which deals with string operation.
any suggestions will be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Solution 1

You can creat an Extension Method like this

C#

public static string ReplaceQuote(this string s)  
{     
return s.Replace("'","''");
}

And then when you want to replace that wherever you want you can do this.

C#

s.ReplaceQuote();

Hope this Helps!
