• Visual C# Newbie Question

  I have done some programming in VB.NET, and I'm working on learning C#.  In VB, I could use a statement like this: SQLStmt = String .Format( "SELECT (lname+', '+fname) AS account_name, account_id FROM Account WHERE lname LIKE '{0}%' AND is_seller = 'true' ORDER BY lname" ,txtSearchName.Text); But in C# I get an exception indicating a syntax error near the keyword LIKE.  I have a feeling it has something to do with the '{0}%'.  Is this different in C# Thanks, Jeff One more data binding question for C# - again, this worked in VB...
