How to access an column with special characters using DataTable.Select()?

Question

I have a DataTable with column such as # of Students and would like to sort by this in descending order. Here is my code:

...
dt.Column         


        

Answer 1

You should use [] brackets, like this :

var rows = dt.Select("","[# of Students] desc");

Answer 2

You can use both [] or `` syntax. Both following snippets are correct:

var rows = dt.Select("","`# of Students` desc");

var rows = dt.Select("","[# of Students] desc");
