Use the Improve question link to post the code that you are using to write to the database so we can see where the problem is

How are you inserting the text to SQL. If you are not already I would suggest using a parametrised query as this should overcome that issue.

Have you read any of the suggestions below? the code examples etc? There is enough information for you to be able to do what you are trying to achieve?
Why are you ignoring peoples questions, it was requested by "CHill60" that you post the code you have tried, yet you haven't.

Hi , I am extremly sorry , the data with double quotes is storing in database , but it is not displaying in text box

As Pheonyx has said ... look below. I can't improve on Solution 4
SQL
Try wrapping the values inside single quotes.

INSERT INTO USERS (ID, NAME, USERNAME) VALUES (NULL, '"tes"', '"hello"');

It looks you should double them, see, for instance "How to insert string containing single or double quotes" at Stack Overflow[^].

You're doing it again! ;-)
I normally add the text as a parameter. Example:

C#
private void testToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string text = @"This text ""contains"" double quotes";

            InsertText(text);
        }

        private void InsertText(string textToInsert)
        {
            string query = "INSERT INTO MyTextTable (StoredText) VALUES (@TextToInsert)";

            using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("your sql connection string"))
            {
                conn.Open();

                using (SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(query, conn))
                {
                    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TextToInsert", textToInsert);
                    com.ExecuteNonQuery();
                }
            }
        }
