<p>How can I show a grey transparent overlay in C#?<br>
It should overlay other process which are not owned by the application doing the overlay.</p>

Found a comment on php.net that reminded me of the answer; you need to wildcard your value before the bindParam is evaluated, and not worry about quoting it. So for example this works fine:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$str = "%$str%";\n$query = $db-&gt;prepare("select * from comments where comment like :search");\n$query-&gt;bindParam(\':search\', $str);\n$query-&gt;execute();\n</code></pre>\n'}, {'answer_id': 15377644, 'author': 'Dominic P', 'author_id': 931860, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/931860', 'pm_score': 2, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>5 years later, in case anyone else stumbles upon this, there is an alternative method I\'ve discovered. The accepted solution wasn\'t really feasible for my situation, but this method seems to get the job done as well:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$query = $db-&gt;prepare("select * FROM table WHERE field LIKE CONCAT(\'%\',:search,\'%\')");\n$query-&gt;bindParam(\':search\', $str);\n$query-&gt;execute();\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>I\'m not sure if there will be a performance hit due to the overhead of calling the <code>CONCAT</code> function, but I wanted to pass this along as an option. Hopefully it will help someone.</p>\n'}]
