The reason for this is that VB.NET *protects* the developer from literal
strings by automagically parsing it and changing things like line feeds,
tabs, double-quotes, etc to their respective ASCII codes and then stores
them that way (AFAIK).

C# does not do this. (In C (Java, C++, C#, etc) based languages, things like
double quotes have to be escaped, much as you have seen in your code
output: --><meta name=\"generato r\" content=\"micro soft visual studio
..net\"><--)

For instance, when you create a string using the line:
"The "quick" brown dog
jumped over the lazy fox."

VB.NET will parse it and convert all the \r\n (typical windows linefeed) and
double quotes for you. C# on the other hand will parse it as "The \"quick\"
brown dog\r\njumped over the lazy fox". This is because C# reads the string
literally.
