I am using a details view and sqldatasource to update information in my database. I keep getting this "Incorrect syntax near 'nvarchar'." Error and from what I have researched this is because there are spaces in my table field names and the table name. Here is some code:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sdsProperty" runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MasterSQLConnectionString %>" 
        
        
        
        SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Property List] WHERE ([Property Code] = @Property_Code)" 
        UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Property List] SET [Property ID] = @PropID, [Property Name] = @PropName, Address = @PropAddress, City = @PropCity, State = @PropState, PostalCode = @PropZip, MainNumber = @PropMainNumber, Backnumber = @PropBackNumber, FaxNumber = @PropFaxNumber, [800Number] = @Prop800Number, EmailAddress = @PropEmail, Units = @PropUnits, DateAquired = @PropDateAquired, Notes = @PropNotes, RegionalID = @PropRegional, DispoDate = @PropDispoDate, AcctID = @PropAcct, Manager = @PropManager, InvestorContact = @PropInvestorContact, InvestorCompany = @PropInvestorCompany, RVPID = @PropRVPID, [Prop Abbr] = @PropAbbr, HR = @PropHR, FormerName = @PropFormerName WHERE ([Property Code] = @pID)">
        <SelectParameters>

I have read that you can use ?Aliases? to fix this issue, but I am unable to find information on how to preform this. I can not rename any of this because this database is utilized by several different applications. Please advise.

UPDATE: I have created a temp table that contains no spaces and changed the code accordingly. This same error is still here. Any and all help is appreciated.

Ok... I may be missing something here but...

Nowhere in the code you provided does the term 'nvarchar' exist.

So either the issue is not with the portion you provided (ie: in code-behind or in a stored procedure on the DB end) or the error is being relayed incorrectly by you to us :)

You have a type set incorrectly it will say somewhere in your error message

Must declare the scalar variable <@Field>

For example

<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="pID" QueryStringField="pID" Type="Int32" />

could need to be changed to

<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="pID" QueryStringField="pID" />

I solved this issue by creating a custom view. The ASP didn't handle spaces in the ROW names well. After I switched to the custom view rather than the table itself all issues were resolved.
