Add double quotes to a list to display in a label

Morning folks,
I have an ASP.Net C# page that pulls in a list of servers from a SQL box and displays the list of servers in a label. ("srv1,srv2,srv3"). I need to add double quotes around each of the servers names. ("srv1","srv2","srv3",)
Any help would be greatly appreached.

If you have string
string str = "srv1,srv2,srv3";
Then you can simply do
str = "\"" + str.Replace(",", "\",\"") + "\"";
Now str contains "srv1","srv2","srv3"

As far as I can understand, you are trying to use double quotes in a string.
If you want to use such,
you can use escape character:
("\"srv1\",\"srv2\",\"srv3\"",)
for the sake of simplicity, you can even convert it to a function:
private string quoteString(string serverName){
return "\"" + serverName + "\"";
}
Also, if you have already "srv1,srv2,srv3" format, find ',' characters in the string and add " before and after comma. Also, notice that you should add to first index and last index ".

How to display query in output

So I have a query and am trying to display it in the Debug Output, when I run the file it gives me a list of output starting with iisexpress.exe : https://gyazo.com/fd9eb832dfcc08571b31490103b85b49
but no actual result? I am trying to run a query on Visual Studios2015 for the first time using the dotnetRDF. My code is below:
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
Debug.WriteLine("SQLAQL query example");
//Define a remote endpoint
//Use the DBPedia SPARQL endpoint with the default Graph set to DBPedia
SparqlRemoteEndpoint endpoint = new SparqlRemoteEndpoint(new Uri("http://dbpedia.org/sparql"), "http://dbpedia.org");
//SPARQL query to show countries, population, capital for countries where population is more than 100000 and limit results to 50
String queryString = "PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> " +
"PREFIX type: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/> " +
"PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/> " +
"SELECT ?country_name ?population ?cptl " +
"WHERE { " +
"?country rdf:type type:Country108544813. " +
"?country rdfs:label ?country_name. " +
"?country prop:populationEstimate ?population. " +
"?country dbo:capital ?cptl " +
"FILTER (?population > 1000000000) . " +
"}" +
"LIMIT 50 ";
Debug.WriteLine("queryString: [" + queryString + "]");
//Make a SELECT query against the Endpoint
SparqlResultSet results = endpoint.QueryWithResultSet(queryString);
foreach (SparqlResult result in results)
{
Debug.WriteLine(result.ToString());
}
}
Just learning SPARQL so this maybe a very basic question.
Many Thanks:)

You need to make sure that your code is compiled and run in Debug mode. If is not then Debug.WriteLine() will have no effect. The output you have provided is incomplete, future reference it is better to copy and paste into your question rather than posting a screenshot.
Since this appears to be a console application why not just use Console.WriteLine() instead?

Put Quote Mark in between 2 string objects

I have looked and looked and look for a way to put a " in between 2 string objects.
I know you can use "\"" to get a quote or even #"""" for the same result.
string quote = "\"";
string cheatName = "UnlockTankLine(" + nationNum.ToString() + "," + quote +
nationTankName[1] + quote + ")";
m_cheater.ActivateCheat(cheatName);
I need a result of "UnlockTankLine(int, "name")"... but when i do the above i get something like
"UnlockTankLine(int, \"name\")" and this isn't working with a cmd line for our game.
NOW if i am dumb and \"name\" is the same thing as "name" and the problem might be somewhere else. The only reason why I think i am not being dumb is if i use a different cheat cmd that doesn't take a string it works fine. Example UnlockWholeTankLine(int) works

try
to use format
string cheatName = string.Format("UnlockTankLine({0},\"{1}\")",
nationNum.ToString(), nationTankName[1])

why Request.QueryString replace + with empty char in some cases?

I have a problem that if I pass a string that contain + in a query string and try to read it , it get the same string but by replacing + with empty char
For example if i pass query like ../Page.aspx?data=sdf1+sdf then in page load I read data by data = Request.QueryString["data"] it will get as below data ="sdf1 sdf"
I solve the problem by replacing any empty char with + ..
But Is there any problem that cause that ? and Is my solution by replacing empty char with + is the best solution in all cases ?

Because + is the url encoded representation of space " ". If you want to preseve the plus sign in your value you will need to url encode it:
"/Page.aspx?data=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("sdf1+sdf")
which will produce:
/Page.aspx?data=sdf1%2bsdf
Now when you read Request.QueryString["data"] you will get what you expect.

String concatenation doesn't seem to work in C#

I don't know what is wrong with the following string:
"Report(" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + " to " + System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + ")"
I can't get the concatenated string. I am getting Report(29-Dec-2009. That's all and
the rest gets left out from the string.
What is the reason?

Try this:
string filename =
String.Format(
"Report({0:dd-MMM-yyyy} to {1:dd-MMM-yyyy})",
System.DateTime.Now, System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1));
EDIT: Since in your download box you got your filename broken in first whitespace, you could to try ONE of these:
filename = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(filename); // OR
filename = """" + filename + """";
Seems some browsers doesn't handles whitespaces very nicely: Filenames with spaces are truncated upon download. Please check it you can to download other filenames with whitespace in other sites.

You need to assign it to something:
string s = "Report(" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + " to " + System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + ")"
Update: I just saw your update to the question. How are you displaying the string? I'm guessing that you are displaying it in a GUI and the label is too short to display the complete text.

Try this:
string newstring =
string.Format(
"Report ({0} to {1})",
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"),
System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")
);

What are you assigning the result to? It would be easier to read the code if you used string.Format

You are not assigning the concatenated result to anything, so can't use it:
string myConcatenated = "Report(" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + ")";

Using this code...
string test = "Report(" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + " to " +
System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") + ")";
I saw the following result.
Report(29-Dec-2009 to 29-Nov-2009)
It could be that the string is being truncated later on. Make sure that you set a breakpoint right after this code is run and check the value of the variable to which it is assigned (test in my case).

If, as in your previous question, you are using this value to create a file, it may be that it's the space before "to" that is causing the problem. Try to use:
"Report("
+ System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")
+ "To"
+ System.DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")
+ ")"
instead and see if that fixes it.
If that does fix it, you'll probably need to either figure out how to quote the entire file name so it's not treated as the three separate arguments, "Report(29-Dec-2009", "to" and "29-Nov-2009)". Or simply leave your reports names without spaces.
I'd choose the latter but then I'm fundamentally opposed to spaces in filenames - they make simple scripts so much harder to write :-)
