Question

I how i make string in multiple lines in VS2010 and using C#. I have a HTML markup as a string and it is filling in a code behind(cs) as in the designer page(aspx). How to i make it in one line or which character i have to put at the end of line so that string will be concatenating next lines. Below is the string sample.

 string text="<table> <tr> <td> <table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\"  style=\"mso-cellspacing: 1.5pt; mso-border-alt: outset black .75pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; 
        mso-padding-alt: 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt; height: 264px; width: 100%;  font-size: 10.0pt; border: 1.0pt outset black; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; \"> 
            <tr style=\"mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes\">

Answer 1

Use a verbatim string literal for this – they are declared by using a @ before the string declaration. The " escape on those is "".

string text= @"<table> <tr> <td> <table border=""1"" cellpadding=""0""  style=""mso-cellspacing: 1.5pt; mso-border-alt: outset black .75pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; 
    mso-padding-alt: 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt; height: 264px; width: 100%;  font-size: 10.0pt; border: 1.0pt outset black; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; ""> 
        <tr style=""mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes"">";
