When using brackets in String: "Input string was not in a correct format" [duplicate]

Question

How can I format a String in C# where the pattern has brackets? When I run the following statement...

String.Format("Foo { Bar={0} }", this.Bar);

... I receive a runtime exception:

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Should I have to escape the brackets? How to?

Answer 1

Escape the brackets by doubling the brackets like {{ and }}

String.Format("Foo {{ Bar={0} }}", this.Bar);

Answer 2

Try using double curly braces, so it looks like:

String.Format("Foo {{ Bar={0} }}", this.Bar);

Looks like it has already been answered: Escape curly brace '{' in String.Format
