Two ways:

string str = "In this string, an \"escape sequence\" is used"; (Previously mentioned)

alternative way:

string str = @"In this string, an ""escape sequence"" is used";

Your solution is just to do either solution 1 or solution 2? Exactly how does your solution differ in any way?

It wasn't clear about the verbatim @ so I just spelled it out is all. You are correct, I should have made a comment, not a solution.

Solution 1

Change every " inside your string into a \" (a backslash followed by a quotation mark). This is the escape sequence for a double quotation mark.
More about escape sequences: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h21280bw.aspx[^]

Example:

C#

string str = "In this string, an \"escape sequence\" is used";

Solution 2

You have to use double double quotes "" or delimit with a slash like \" in c# strings.

A better option is to embed your text as a resource and load it into your string.

My vote of 4: your answer is almost perfect, but I suggest to add that you can only use the double double quotes if you added a verbatim string literal (the @ sign).

Yep, thanks!
