Auto quotes around string in c# - build in method?

Question

Is there some build in method that add quotes around string in c# ?

Answer 1

string quotedString = string.Format("\"{0}\"", originalString); 

Answer 2

Do you mean just adding quotes? Like this?

text = "\"" + text + "\""; 

? I don't know of a built-in method to do that, but it would be easy to write one if you wanted to:

public static string SurroundWithDoubleQuotes(this string text) {     return SurroundWith(text, "\""); }  public static string SurroundWith(this string text, string ends) {     return ends + text + ends; } 

That way it's a little more general:

text = text.SurroundWithDoubleQuotes(); 

or

text = text.SurroundWith("'"); // For single quotes 

I can't say I've needed to do this often enough to make it worth having a method though...
