Answer 1

You have to do this

String str="{\"Id\":\"123\",\"DateOfRegistration\":\"2012-10-21T00:00:00+05:30\",\"Status\":0}"; 

Please see this for reference
Also from msdn :)

Short Notation  UTF-16 character    Description \'  \u0027  allow to enter a ' in a character literal, e.g. '\'' \"  \u0022  allow to enter a " in a string literal, e.g. "this is the double quote (\") character" \\  \u005c  allow to enter a \ character in a character or string literal, e.g. '\\' or "this is the backslash (\\) character" \0  \u0000  allow to enter the character with code 0 \a  \u0007  alarm (usually the HW beep) \b  \u0008  back-space \f  \u000c  form-feed (next page) \n  \u000a  line-feed (next line) \r  \u000d  carriage-return (move to the beginning of the line) \t  \u0009  (horizontal-) tab \v  \u000b  vertical-tab 

Answer 2

I prefer this, just make sure you don't have single quote in the string

 string str = "{'Id':'123','DateOfRegistration':'2012-10-21T00:00:00+05:30','Status':0}"               .Replace("'", "\"");
