line continuation in asp.net markup

Hello experts,
I have a very long sql in my asp.net markup like this. What line continuation character do I use? The compiler says "if this attribute value is enclosed in quotation marks, the quotation marks must match."

            <asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsBonuses" runat="server" 
                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AdHocReportingConnectionString %>" 
                SelectCommand = "select approved_denied_by=case when b.bonus_status = 'Denied' then denied_by when b.bonus_status = 'Approved' then approved_by else null end,
                                            approved_denied_date=case when b.bonus_status = 'Denied' then denied_date when b.bonus_status = 'Approved' then approved_date else null end, b.*,rtrim(p.first_name)+' '+rtrim(p.last_name) Name,rtrim(ps.first_name)+' '+rtrim(ps.last_name) submitter_name 
                                    from bonus_local b, people p , people ps

its either <%# (asp.net 3.5) or <%$(not sure about 4.0)

The continuation character is an underscore ensure there is a space between the last character on the line and the underscore.
I think that you will possibly need to close each line with a " and use an & as well like this :


"some string " & _
"another string " & _
