How to put a new line inside a string in C# source code?

Question

Is there a way in C# sytax for defining a new line? (Like in VB _ )

Example:

Instead of:

string myStr = "very long string" +
"another long string";

This:

string myStr = "very long string \something
another long string"

Or; does compiler handles this and does something like; "string" + "string" -> "stringstring" in this example?

Different cases are welcome like when these strings are constants, etc.

Answer 1

Compiler turns "ABC" + "DEF" into "ABCDEF" so there's no cost in using +

Answer 2

You can use

string myStr = @"very long string
another long string";

@" is the beginning of a string literal and this kind of string does not end until the next " character is found.

There is not an exact syntax for c# which does the same thing as _ character in vb. So if you want to avoid including a new line, you must manually connect your strings on different lines.
