Back tic in VB.net - vb.net

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to use a back tic in vb.net ?
I am using N1QL to query a Couchbase db and i have a reserved keyword in my couchbase docs which is number. In N1QL you just enclose that word in back tic and that allows you to use reserved keywords.
Dim qRequest = New QueryRequest()
qRequest.Statement("select meta().id as DocId, _id,_type,`number`,cname_text,status,action from Vodex where _type ='cname'")
even so i dont get an error i dont get the desired response from my vb.code

Answer 1

I created a bucket called Vodex with a primary index and one document in it like this:
key: doc1
{
"number": 1
}
I then wrote a small console app. It's been a while since I've written VB.NET, so forgive this clumsy example:
Imports Couchbase
Imports Couchbase.Configuration.Client
Imports Couchbase.N1QL
Module Program
Sub Main(args As String())
Dim clientConfig = New ClientConfiguration()
Dim uris = New List(Of Uri)
uris.Add(New Uri("http://localhost:8091"))
clientConfig.Servers = uris
Dim cluster = New Cluster(clientConfig)
cluster.Authenticate("Administrator", "password")
Dim bucket = cluster.OpenBucket("Vodex")
Dim qRequest = New QueryRequest()
qRequest.Statement("select meta().id As DocId, `number` from Vodex")
Dim results = bucket.Query(Of Foo)(qRequest)
Dim rows = results.Rows
For Each o As Foo In rows
Console.WriteLine(o.DocId)
Console.WriteLine(o.Number)
Next
cluster.Dispose()
End Sub
End Module
Friend Class Foo
Public Property DocId As String
Public Property Number As Integer
End Class
After running that, "doc1" and "1" are printed to console. It seems to work okay, even with backticks. If you're experiencing another issue, it is probably not because of the backticks.
