How to create a string with special characters in C#

Question

How can I create a string which contains the following:

<Object type="System.Windows.Forms.Form

Answer 1

Use an escape character for the quote:

string temp = "<Object type=\"System.Windows.Forms.Form"

Answer 2

You have two choices, depending on the remainder of the text you want to place into the string:

use the escape character \ within the double-quoted string for any double-quote marks, as the other answers have suggested.

string s = "<Object type=\"System.Windows.Forms.Form";

use the string-@ form, which avoids processing the \ (such as in path names like C:\Temp\Myfile.txt), and then double the double-quote:

string s = @"<Object type=""System.Windows.Forms.Form";
