Inserting double quotes in a textbox

304 Contributor
hi,
Is there a way for inserting double quotes in a texbox?

i.e. i would like achieve something like this ->

Gomzi"Gomzi (should be displayed in a textbox).

Tried both using backslashes and html encode without much success.

textBox1.Text = '"' + "lawl" + '"';

This isolate's the qutations into "char's".

If you want to display any special character, just add "\" before it (without double quotes)

eg: Console.WriteLi ne("ab\"cd"); --> ab"cd

cheers.

Would like to input double quotes inside a texbox. The above method doesn't work in that case.

I think we were talking about C# now you switch to VB!!! In VB two double quote = one double quote.

txtpath.Text = "AB""CD"
Output: AB"CD

Is your problem done?

I don't remember ever mentioning that I was talking of c#.
You were posting in c# and I assumed that the method would be the same for vb.net also. May be that was my fault.
Anyway, the above method you specified works great.
Thanks.

Hi, I need to replace all the double quotes (") in a textbox with single quotes ('). I used this code text= Replace(text, """", "'" This works fine (for normal double quotes).The problem comes in when you copy a double quote from MS Word and paste it in the text box. What happens is the double quote becomes slanted (“) so my code above can't filter it. I tried to do this text= Replace(text, "““","'")

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
