[HK guy]

In C#, it has a escape chatacter @ then can ingnore all the escape charactrer
in string, how about in VB.NET, any escape character like @?
Thank you

I don't believe so.

Just double all quotes.

No, In VB.NET, you can find the special character in module
Microsoft.VisualBasic.ControlChars. These constants are equivalent to escape
characters of C#.

There are no escape characters. Notice that a single quote must be
"encoded" as two single quotes inside a string literal. For special
characters, take a look at 'ControlChars':

\\\
Dim s As String = "Hello" & ControlChars.NewLine & "World"
///

There is no runtime performance loss because the compiler will determine
that this is a single constant and store it as a single constant in the
executable file.

Herfried,

\\\

///

executable file.

It can be true however what the hell of a loss of performance this could
be, even when it is in a loop which goes a billion times it would be less
than a millisecond probably.

Full ACK. I only wanted to make sure that the OP doesn't think VB.NET
isn't as clever as C# ;-).
