Dear All,
I am getting problem in c# code to assign below string but its not proper working with single quotes.

string HighSlide = @"<a style='border: none;' href='CompanyMaster.aspx?popup=true'<br />
                                        önclick='return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: 'iframe', align: 'left', width: 810, height: 520 });'><br />
                                       " + e.Day.Date.Day + "</a>";

string HighSlide = @"<a style='border: none;' href='CompanyMaster.aspx?popup=true'
                                         önclick='return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: " + "''" + @"iframe" + "\'" + @", align: " + "\'" + @"left" + "\'" + @", width: 810, height: 520 });'>
                                       " + e.Day.Date.Day + "</a>";

Why do you escape the single quote characters sometimes and sometimes not?

It appears that in this line:
önclick='return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: 'iframe', align: 'left', width: 810, height: 520 });'
you have single quotes inside single quotes. Try to resolve it, for example, by replacing first single quotes with double quotes:

önclick=""return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: 'iframe', align: 'left', width: 810, height: 520 });""

("" generates double quotes in verbatim - i.e. @"..." - strings).

I need to make the url like that.

It doesn't "need" to be written that way as it is not proper syntax. This has nothing to do with C#, it is your HTML/JavaScript syntax that is incorrect. You need to either replace the single quotes from onclick with double quotes (as previously suggested) or replace the single quotes in the object literal with double quotes. The same would be true if you hard-coded this HTML snippet in an HTML document.

You are correct. I would suggest posting as solution.

Dear All,
I got the solution as I used &#39 prefix and suffix when I got the error.

example : &#39frame&#39 Its will automatically generate like 'frame'.

Thank You very much for your help.
