here are two solutions,
both will work in window application but for web application use second solution.

1. set labels property 'UseMnemonic'='False'

C#

label1.UseMnemonic=false;
label1.Text="This is the example & excercise";
//will show you same string as you assign in text property.

2. Replace with '&' with '&&'.

C#

label1.Text="This is the example & excercise".Replace("&","&&");

Happy Coding!
:)

Solution 2

C#

string Test="This is the example && excercise "

or if it is kind of input string , then use replace

C#

string Test="This is the example & excercise "
Test.Replace("&","&&")
