How to include " in a string

Question

How do I include the " character in a string.

For example said = "John said "Hi""

Answer 1

You need to double up the quotes to escape them in VB

e.g. said = "John said ""Hi"""

Answer 2

There are also a set of Control Characters available:

Try

Dim s as String = "John said " & ControlChars.Quote & "Hi" & ControlChars.Quote

I find this much more readable than multiple quotes stacked together.
