C# removing single quote from string

[karenRoss]

Am I even close to right? I dont recall how many single quotes it takes to represent a single quote in a aspx.cs code behind page.

 if (firstname.Contains( " ' " ))
        {
            indexof = firstname.IndexOf(" '  ");
            firstname.Insert(indexof + 1, " ' ");
        }
        if (lastname.Contains("''"))
        {
            indexof = lastname.IndexOf(" '  ");
            lastname.Insert(indexof + 1, " '  ");
        }

Here's what I use:

private static string quoteReplace(string psString)
{
    return psString.Replace("'", "''");
}
 

That is replace a single quote ' with two single quotes ''

I tried to use this however, when I step through the application the string is sent and it reads psString however, it does not actually make the change...rather just goes through the motions.

It is returning the changed string in the return value of the function, you either use the function as a function or do something like:

mysring= mystring.replace("'","''");

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

I am obviously missing the ( variable = blah blah; )

and just had the blah blah...

Thanks for your help :-)
