Treat the escape character '\' as literal.

Hello Chris,

From visual studio help :
"The advantage of @-quoting is that escape sequences are not processed, which
makes it easy to write, for example, a fully qualified file name:
@"c:\Docs\Source\a.txt" == "c:\\Docs\\Source\\a.txt"

in your case :
@"\\myclient\d$" == "\\\\myclient\\d$"

Vincent.

What does the "@" char mean in the below line of code

string abc = @"\\myclient\d$";

Thanks

It denotes a verbatim string literal.
