How to display a text in XAML which contains double and single quotation marks?

Question

In my XAML file I want to display this text which contains double and single quotation marks:

You shouldn't choose "Copy if New".

None of these work:

<TextBlock Text="You shouldn't choose "Copy if New":"/> <TextBlock Text="You shouldn't choose ""Copy if New"":"/> <TextBlock Text="You shouldn't choose \"Copy if New\":"/> <TextBlock Text='You shouldn't choose \"Copy if New\":'/> <TextBlock Text='You shouldn\'t choose \"Copy if New\":'/> 

I give up, can I do this in XAML?

Answer 1

You should encode the special characters:

<TextBlock Text='You shouldn&apos;t choose &quot;Copy if New&quot;:'/> 

• ' for '
• " for "

Answer 2

There are defined XML escapes & " for " and & ' for ' -- if the XML handling in XAML doesn't interpret those properly, then start to worry.
