String manipulations with SQL

What is the best way to avoid string manipulations with SQL?

I have edit box control where database is opened for attacks through SQL
commands.

Something like this:
selectString = "SELECT FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME FROM xxxTable WHERE
FIRSTNAME='"+tx tTextBox1.Text" '";

Furthermore I would like to avoid of using some characters like ;:,. etc.

If you know for some example I appreciate it. Thanks in advance...

I recently ran our code through a profiler to determine why it was using so much memory. It turns out the System.String object is taking 95% of the memory. We have considered converting the strings to StringBuilder objects, but I don't think this will help. From what I understand, the StringBuilder only helps with speed increases (by reducing time to create a new string). In addition to that, most of the string manipulations are very...

I'm curious about the performance of string::c_str, so I'm wondering how it's commonly implemented. Do most std::string implementations just keep an extra char allocated for the NULL termination so they can return a pointer to their internal buffer, or are they equally likely to create a new buffer on demand? I know the standard doesn't require any particular implementation, which is why I'm curious if there is a consensus among...

Hi everyone... I'm pretty much a newbie C++ user, and I've run into a problem. I'm trying to read in a large text file, and then do manipulations on it. I can read it into a large 2-dimensional character array, but I'd really like to read it into a vector of strings. Here's how I'm doing the read into the char array: int main() { string str1("booger"); string str2("test");

Hi, I'm looking for an efficient way to do this, because I know it will be heavily used :-) I have a fixed width string and I need to substitute a substring of characters with new values. I can do this with 2 substring calls, but it will need to rebuild the string just to write a few characters. Here is the simple, but inefficient, version: string s = "0123456789";

Can you do a search for more that one string in another string? Something like: someString.IndexOf("something1","something2","something3",0) or would you have to do something like: if ((someString.IndexOf("something1",0) >= 0) || ((someString.IndexOf("something2",0) >= 0) ||

Hi, I am new to C#, coming from Delphi. In Delphi, I am using a 3rd party string handling library that includes some very useful string functions, in particular I'm interested in BEFORE (return substring before a pattern), AFTER (return substring after a pattern), and BETWEEN (return substring between 2 patterns). My questions are: 1. Can any tell me how I can implement such functionality in C#? 2. Is it possible to add/include function...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
