Hi @kaif hasan
Can you create a simple sample to reproduce the problem and share the relates code? So that it is better for us to reproduce the problem and help you fix it.

Hello Here is an example, in the sample it's working as expected. However, when using replace function in production code it's adding backslash with double prime. I'm expecting value 8202D-Ti-36" double prime has been added to represent "Inch" symbol on UI. When downloading data from other sites, it's saving "8202D-Ti-36 & q u o t ;" in my DB. I want to save the actual value in my DB. Here is code that I've written in the production. Screenshot_1

Screenshot_2

//I've written in the production.
foreach (var OrderItem in ordersList.OrderItems)
                            {
                                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(OrderItem.SKU))
                                {
                                    OrderItem.SKU = Replace("&quot;", "\"").Replace("&nbsp;", " ");
                                }

//this is example
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;

class MyNewClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string[] SKU = {"8202D-Ti-36&quot;", "8202D-Ti-34&quot;", "8202D-Ti-43&quot;","8202D-Ti-36&quot;","SCP&nbsp;PNKG-FBA"};

        foreach (var item in SKU)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(item.Replace("&quot;", "\"")
.Replace("&nbsp;", " "));
        }
    }
}

The replace method does not add a backslash otherwise everyone would have this issue. There must be a mistake somewhere else in the code base or design.

Hello AgaveJoe, I agree that replace function doesn't add backslash. If you check screenshot_1, getting this "8202D-Ti-36 & q u o t;" value when enters in the IF block as soon as hitting on replace function , it's considering both backslash and double quotation, see screenshot_2. It should only consider quotation mark.

I think that if Visual Studio displays "8202D-Ti-36\"" according to C# rules, then the real value is 8202D-Ti-36". Click “View” to see it.
