double quotations

[Ant]

Hi, how do you output a string that will be seen with double quotatios?

I'd like to display:

This is my "Value".

by doing something like:

string op = "This is my " + " + txtbox.text.ToS tring() + ";


Any clues would be gratefully accepted.

You need to escape the quotes:

string op = "This is my \"" + txtbox.Text + "\".";

To make things more obvious, here is something in the middle of a
string:

string x = "This gives a \"quoted\" example.";

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/strings.html for more
information.

Re: double quotations

string op = "This is my \"" + txtbox.text.ToS tring() + "\"";

i.e. \" is the escape character for " - read up on "string escape
characters" for more info

Re: double quotations

Should also be pointed out for completeness that verbatim string literals
(prefixed with @) need "" to represent a single double quote rather than an
escape.

string x = @"This gives a ""quoted"" example.";
