quoted string in .Net (@="\u...") convert to unicode

[Jorgen]

I have this situation:
string h = "#u00d8";
h = h.Replace("#","\\"); // =h = @"\u00d8"
WriteLine(h); //="\u00d8"

But I wishes to have this situation:
h = "\u00d8";
WriteLine(h); //="Ø"

How can I convert a qouted string to a string object so that it can be
parsed by the .Net framework when I call WriteLine (or something
similar).

Conclution: I do not want the Replace() method to add the qouted string
marker (@)!! How can I escape the escape character (@)? :)

Replace isn't adding the @. The debugger is just displaying it.

A "quoted string" *is* a string object. Now, if you want that to be
parsed for things like \uxxxx, I *believe* you'll have to do that
yourself. (I don't know of any classes in the framework which do it for
you.)

This won't do what you think it will because the \u (and indeed all
escape sequences) are only interpreted on string literals! If you
replace the value of a string with "\\", you're just going to have a
string with a slash as it's value.

string s = "\u00d8";
WriteLine(s); //Should show the char you want because of the string
litereal

string s = "#u00d8";
s = sReplace("#","\\")
WriteLine(s); //Results in "\u00d8" being written (without the quotes)

Thanks that was what I wanted. It worked fine.
