Hello all,

appreciated.

In addition, I doubt that the result of @""" would be \". That is probably
just how the debugger is representing it. I suspect you are getting just
what you want -- a string of Length 1 that contains a quotation mark.

string quote = @"""; would have the same result as I suggested and the
debugger would show the value of both as "\"".
