How to translate VB code InStr(1, sDocName, """") to C#

hi there, how do I translate the following vb code to C#? I know to use
Indexof, but what would be for """"? Thanks!

InStr(1, sDocName, """")

Hi, they are looking for a double quote char in the string, so you would use
"\"" in C#. Don't forget that VB indexes are 1-based, so the equivalent
index in C# would be 0 (assuming they didn't specify Option Base 0).

Hi. Should be just "\"" not "\"\"". The two "" together in VB signify one
double quote.

1. IndexOf's 'start' parameter is 0-based, while InStr is 1-based.
2. If you're converting existing code, then you'll also have to add 1 to the
result since InStr's result is 1-based while IndexOf's result is 0-based.

So, unless you're rewriting the surrounding code (instead of just converting
it), the correct translation is:

i = sDocName.IndexO f("\"", 0) + 1;

On page 89 of Stroustrup's book "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd Ed. He says that multidimensional arrays are best avoided outside low-level code. What precisely does he mean by low-level code? That is fairly relative terminology. Is he saying that the use of multidimensional arrays in C++ are not desirable? That doesn't seem right to me.
