String.Replace() is not working as expected to replace weird chars in strings in C#

Question

I have a string DisplayName which has value as "Vinny' Direct Reports". I am trying to replace "'"with "-"in string as it failing to get ingested into my Data Source.

Below is the code where I am trying to replace.

if (DisplayName.Contains("'", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == true)
        {
            DisplayName.Replace("'", "-").Replace("\"", "-");
            Console.WriteLine(DisplayName);
        }

Replace returns a string, so you will need to assign the output back to your variable — hijinxbassist, Mar 03 '22 at 00:50

@LarsTech Why is `Replace` not a method? Saying that `Replace` is not a method seems wrong even with a very conservative view of the defintions of two terms. — tymtam, Mar 03 '22 at 01:39

Change this:

DisplayName.Replace("'", "-").Replace("\"", "-");

To this:

DisplayName = DisplayName.Replace("'", "-").Replace("\"", "-");
