Question

I have the following HTML code:

<P>Notes:&nbsp;&nbsp; Mails: <BR> &nbsp; 1. <A href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</A></P>

and of course when I try to pass it to string it gives me error:

 string s =  "<P>Notes:&nbsp;&nbsp; Mails: <BR> &nbsp; 1. <A href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</A></P>";

Is there a way I could just take that HTML and convert it to a .NET equivalent, preferably without changing the format?

thanks in advance.

It looks like you just have to escape the quotes:

 string s =  "<P>Notes:&nbsp;&nbsp; Mails: <BR> &nbsp; 1. <A href=\"mailto:[e-mail]\">[e-mail]</A></P>";

In C# " denotes the beginning or end of a string, to use a " inside a string you need to ‘escape’ it like this \". You may also use verbatim string literals of the format

string s = @"this is a string with "" <-- a quote inside";
