How to deal with a & in data field during an UpdateCommand

Asked by twestfall in Programming for ASP.NET, Visual Studio

Tags: asp.net

Does anyone know how to handle an UpdateCommand when the data being updated may contain special characters that will result in an error.  I normally can trap this in code behind but I'm wondering if it can be dealt with directly in ASPX code.

If you look at my code below, my SPCompany fied has data in the field like "DB & Sons"

This causes an error when doing the update.
