Question

I have this code so far:

string userInput = Textbox1.text;
string query = "SELECT * FROM Books WHERE BookName = @Title";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con); 
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Title", userInput);

and I need this query to support Cyrillic characters, and use N” for Cyrillic support:

SELECT * FROM Books Where BookName = N'UserInput%'  

i need ‘%’ too because i want to find all books that match the UserInput.

Answer 1

This is not tested since I don’t use .NET but I would probably do it like this.

string UserInput = Textbox1.text;
string query = "SELECT * FROM Books WHERE BookName like @Title";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con); 
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Title", UserInput+"%");

Change = to like in the query, add the % to the user input and make sure that the data type for BookName in table Books is of nvarchar.
