I have an exe and need to pass a filepath which has spaces and would
normally be surrounded by " " if done from the Window Start -- Run dialog...
How can I get the quotes around the strings I pass to it?

Take a look at the 'ProcessStartIn fo' class and its 'FileName' and
'Arguments' properties. You can use 'Process.Start( psi)' to start an
application, 'psi' is your instance of 'ProcessStartIn fo'.

Escape the double-quote characters with a back-slash (\). For example,
"\"C:\\My File.doc\"" will be treated as "C:\My File.doc"
Another option is to use verbatim strings (escape " with two consequtive "
chars) and prefix the whole string with @ char as in @"""C:\My File.doc""";
Hope this is what you are looking for.

Is this c# or VB?

It is C#.
In VB, you use double quotes, i.e. """C:\My File.doc""". There is no VB.NET
equivalent to verbatim strings, unfortunately.

Sorry, it is C#.
For VB, escape " with two consequtive " chars as in """C:\My File.doc"""

I'm running a console application (ghostscript) by starting it as a process

The problem i'm having is that it's falling over when I pass a file
containing spaces in the filename or filepath.
Anyone know how to get around this? (i've tried putting the file in quotes,
but it doesn't seem to work e.g. -sPDFname#"filename")

I have seen that C/C++ Compiler supports long filename up to 254
characters plus the extension. Can header files and source code files
accept space between alphabet character and numeric character? Is it the
best practice to use underscore instead of space? If so, please explain
why.
Would you prefer to avoid using two double quote marks in the long
filename if space is there? Without it, it would be underspace.
