Filtering Dataview [Strange Problem]

[anup_daware]

Abstract: I want to filter a dataview with a value where column name have a SPACE.
Description:-
I bind a dataview to a datagrid,
The query which is fetching the results in Dataset is something like this:-
Select POSTAL_ADDRESS as "Postal Address" from Emp where ....
Now the column name in Dataview is "Postal Address" which is having a space, with this column name when I am filtering the Dataview like:-
DataViewAddress.RowFilter = "Postal Address LIKE *Bel1*"
which throws following exception:-
System.Data.SyntaxErrorException: Syntax error: Missing operand after Address operator.
I tried
DataViewAddress.RowFilter = "\"Postal Address\" LIKE *Bel1*"
I also tried the EncodedColumnName which replaces spaces with _x0020_
like:
DataViewAddress.RowFilter = "Postal_x0020_ Address LIKE *Bel1*" but nothing worked and got the same exception every time..

I searched the net but I didnt get anything on it...
Any help will be Very-Much Helpful..
Thanks and Regards,
Anup Daware

Try square brackets:

DataViewAddress.RowFilter = "[Postal Address] LIKE *Bel1*"
[/code]
