Replace string function in C# working in web forms but not win forms.

He says:

What am I missing here?
I have the following string:
string _node = Individual_Program__Serious_Incidents_Sorted_by_Incident_Report
I use the following C#

_node.Replace(-,_).

I am trying to replace the dash with an underscore. After the code executes, it is still a dash!!!
Any suggestions?

I reply back:
Heres your answer&

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string myNode=
@"Individual_Program__Serious_Incidents_Sorted_by_Incident_Report";
Label1.Text=myNode;
myNode=myNode.Replace("_","-").ToString();
Label2.Text=myNode;
}

He says:
Im not using ASP. This is in my code generator.

Its maddening& this doesnt work:

string _treeNode = ri.treeNodeName.Replace(" ", "_");
string_treeNode2 = _treeNode.Replace("-","_");

After that _treeNode2 still has the darn -.

I cant believe this is a bug&weird. Ive googled and no help.

myNode.Replace('_','-'). try single quotes

Another email from him. I think...aphillips might be on the right track.

Interesting, this works:

string test = "hello-has_Dash";
test = test.Replace("-","_");

but this doesnt work:

string test = "Program__Serious_Incidents_Sorted_by_Incident";
test = test.Replace("-","_");

Is the dash different in those two?!

Hmm, I think the square thingy might be the cause of the problem. I need to check...

Yeah, it was not an ASCII standard format.
