Hi,

is there a way to put " (double quote) into a verbatin
string?

thank you

Use \"
as follows:

string myString = "This string has \"quotes\" in it";

Also, remember you can use @ if you don't want to have to escape certain
characters (e.g. backslashes)

Thus, @"C:\Temp" is equivalent to "C:\\Temp" as both are interpreted as
C:\Temp. That won't help you for double-quotes, of course, since an
unescaped double-quote will be interpreted as a delimiter. So you have to
escape it just as Pete indicates. But the @ is useful for other string
literals.

No, you *don't* have to escape it that way - you can embed double
quotes in verbatim string literals (which was what the OP was asking
about) by doubling them up:

string x = @"before quote "" after quote";

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/s....html#literals

(Basically, double the quote.)
