replacing special charaters in c#

here is my problem.
I am adding a string in database and have some double quotes in that string
as <a href="asdas" /> .Now whenever im fetching this from database every " double quotes get changed into \" so this becomes <a href =\"asads\"/> and i dont need these when i m using it in a page.
i tried using string.replace("\"",""") but its giving me an error regularly.
is there any other way i can replace those with that.

thanks

You don't have to palce a \.
you can double all your double quotes and place the @ before the string variable.

Something like this :

string my_field = @"<a href=""asdas"" />";

hope this help,

You can try to set HtmlEncode="False"

There a htmlencode method :

Since the backslash is the escape character, you need to escape it in the replace. So:
string.replace("\\","")

That will replace all occurrances of the backslash with the empty string.

Hello DevSolution,

Did you try the first solution I given with the @before the a string variable and setting all inner double quotes twice ?

renjurdevan

string target = Regex.Replace(str, @"[^0-9]" ,"");

@"[^0-9]" change according to your use

using System.Text.RegularExpressions ;
