Encoding XPath Expressions with both single and double quotes

by

Wow, you all sure are making this complicated. Why not just do this?

public static string XpathExpression(string value)
{
    if (!value.Contains("'"))
        return '\'' + value + '\'';

    else if (!value.Contains("\""))
        return '"' + value + '"';

    else
        return "concat('" + value.Replace("'", "',\"'\",'") + "')";
}
