Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Common

Assembly:

Gets or sets the beginning character or characters to use when specifying database objects (for example, tables or columns) whose names contain characters such as spaces or reserved tokens.

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ QuotePrefix { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };

public virtual string QuotePrefix { get; set; }

member this.QuotePrefix : string with get, set

Public Overridable Property QuotePrefix As String

Property Value

String

The beginning character or characters to use. The default is an empty string.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

This property cannot be changed after an insert, update, or delete command has been generated.

Remarks

Some data sources may have objects that can contain characters such as spaces, commas, and semicolons. To accommodate this capability, use the QuotePrefix and QuoteSuffix properties to specify delimiters such as a left bracket and a right bracket to encapsulate the object name.

Note

Although you cannot change the QuotePrefix or QuoteSuffix properties after an insert, update, or delete command has been generated, you can change their settings after calling the Update method of a DbDataAdapter.
