inserting a Double quote into a string

[YvonneTsang]

I am having problems getting a double quote(&quot into a string. I thought the structure was string test = "hi ""Tiger"" Woods" to get hi Tiger Woods into my string. Am I mistaken? What is the proper syntax for C#

You need to prefix your string with the @ character.
i.e.
string str = @""string in double quote marks here""";

I can't recall the exact number of " characters you need - whether it's 2 or 3 either side of the string - you may need to experiement with this.

Hope that this helps.

I think you can also use the backslash character to escape it, like you'd do in C.

MyString += "\"Tiger Woods\"";
