I am passing some query like this:

C#

"select * from Item where Item_Name like '" + GridViewItem.Rows[0].Cells[1].ToString() + "'";

Item Name contains a single quote, so when I am passing the above error is coming.
Suggest me some answers...
Thank You...

Can you post your code ?

Solution 2

use something like:

C#

GridViewItem.Rows[0].Cells[1].ToString().Replace("'","''")

or maybe

C#

GridViewItem.Rows[0].Cells[1].ToString().Replace("'","\'")

I'm not really sure because of the many sql languages, but you can easily try one of these and see what happens

I am doing transaction management process. Will this formula work there for three or more transactions?

You should be using Parameter queries instead of string concatenation.

a) it solves the issue with strings having quotes in them.
b) helps secure your queries against SQL Injection attacks.

There are alot of resources on this site and on google explaining how to create a paramterized query.
