Question

I am trying to create a c# statement which creates a table.

Below is my current query:

    string user = (User.Identity.Name);

    string db = user+["-Result"] + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");

I am trying to create a table of name which will be something like Jane-Result2011111111

I am able to create the table when my statement did not include the name :

user+"Result" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");

May I know how can I include the - in my statement?

Thank you

Edit

Ok, you re-tagged and edited your question after my first answer. Try moving the brackets inside of the quotes (or remove them all together).

string db = user + "[-Result]" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");

There are better ways in C# to combine strings though. One is String.Format.

string db = String.Format("{0}-Result{1}", user, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss"));

Original answer

Not sure what language the code is in (C#?), but I’m guessing you need a + between your 2nd double quote and the word user.

string db = "'%" + user + "%'Result" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
