title: How to get Dash in a column name of DataTable.Select in VB?
body: <p>I got the XML data.</p>
  
  <p>The XML data, e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;person&gt;
      &lt;email-address&gt;abc@test.com&lt;/email-address&gt;
  &lt;/person&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>from my clsEmail.vb, e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>If XML.Tables("person").Select("email-address='" + Data Value + "'").Length = 1 Then
        Throw New Exception("Please enter another email address")
  End If
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>BUT, the errors : Cannot find column [email].</p>
  
  <p>Means that the dash can be other characters, which I tested:</p>
  
  <pre><code>XML.Tables("person").Select("email &amp; Chr(150) &amp;address....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is not working.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any solution out there? </p>
