Question

In Visual Studio with C#, how can I declare a string inside of a string like this? I saw a few Stack Overflow pages like “Java string inside string to string”, but didn’t think any of them were the same as my question.

Basically if I have

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"standalone="yes" ?>"

How can I declare this, or something like it, in my code as a string? Someone suggested double quotations to me around things like “”1.0″”, but I couldn’t get that to work.

Thanks for the help.

Either escape the double quotes like this:

"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"standalone=\"yes\" ?>"

or use a verbatim string (notice the leading @ symbol in front of the string) like this:

@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""standalone=""yes"" ?>"
