I'm doing some maintenance on a C# WinForms app and noticed that code similar to that below appears in several places:

    foreach (DataRow rowSubs in subsList)
    {
        internalSubName = rowSubs["SiteName"].ToString().ToUpper().Replace("@@@", "'");
    }

I know that Replace replaces one string with another but what exactly is the Replace doing in this instance. Is the "@@@" some sort of wildcard?

Just curious as I've never seen this before and does not seem to appear in documentation.

  • With only from what I can see its just a placeholder. I never met anything like a wildcard as you mentioned it. Do you see the source where the initial string comes from? Commented Apr 23 at 13:12

    I don't see why this use of .Replace() is different from any other. It's replacing instances of "@@@" with "'" in a string. Are you observing any unexpected behavior when testing or debugging this? Commented Apr 23 at 13:48
