Enclose values in double quotes in VB.net

Question

I have this string in vb.net. I would appreciate if you can let me know how I can enclose the values in double quotes

dim str as string=""
str.Append("EmpID=" & empNo & " DeptID=" & deptID & "")

I want the value of string to be EmiID="10" DeptID="20"

Answer 1

Use double double quotes to get a single double quote in the string

str.Append("EmpID=""" & empNo & """ DeptID=""" & deptID & """")

Answer 2

ControlChars.Quote is nice to use :)

dim metatransferString as string = ""
