I'm trying to pass a SQL statement through C# but my SQL statement needs quotes around a table since the name of the table is also a proper SQL command(which I have no control over). Looking at MSDN I tried the following two methods but. string sqlSELECT = @"select * FROM tableNAME.""SELECT""; string sqlSELECT = "select * FROM tableNAME./"SELECT/""; The problem is that both of these statements above leave in slashes.
