I have an issue whereby I use a Linq query to select a person's name from a list, it works perfectly fine until there is a special character in the name, then it fails and I don't know why. I've tried replacing the special characters with nothing, but that doesn't work either

This is my query

PersonName = (From Name In AllNames Where importedNames.Name = player.Name) Select importedNames.ID).First.ToString

And these are some examples that don't work

Shouldn’t it be == in your where clause – auburg Jan 18 '20 at 11:29
You need to use a string function that is culture sensitive. – Peter Smith Jan 18 '20 at 13:16
