The following is my entry in the .bib file:

@inbook{deckerdejong,
  author = {Wolfram Decker and Theo de Jong},
    title = {Gr\"obner bases and invariant theory},
    booktitle = {Gr\"obner Bases and Applications},
    publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
    year = 1998,
    pages = "61-89"
}

Now when I quote this in the text by \citet{deckerdejong}, I get "Decker and Jong (1998)" as output. But I need it to be "Decker and de Jong (1998)". How do I accomplish this? I already tried out some answers of the "van noort" example, but they didn't work for me. I use biblatex with the authoryear style and biber.

    My knee-jerk is to either enclose {de Jong} or tie de~Jong. Do either of those work? – Sean Allred Jul 17 '13 at 13:28

    It would also be great if you could say, which of the answers from the "van noort example" you already tried. You should also take into account, that this example is about bibtex while your question is about biblatex and biber which might work different in some points. – Benedikt Bauer Jul 17 '13 at 13:30

Use the package option useprefix=true. Note that the prefix will be used in citations and for sorting the bibliography; if you don't want the latter, see How can I put a name's prefix in front in citations but *not* in the bibliography? and Sorting of author names like "von Beethoven" with biblatex.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,useprefix=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@inbook{deckerdejong,
  author = {Wolfram Decker and Theo de Jong},
    title = {Gr\"obner bases and invariant theory},
    booktitle = {Gr\"obner Bases and Applications},
    publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
    year = 1998,
    pages = "61-89"
}
@misc{dejong,
  author = {Theo de Jong},
  title = {Delta},
  year = {2004},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

As shown in \textcite{deckerdejong}~\dots

\printbibliography

\end{document}
