Can anybody pls throw some light on this?
What does @ symbol mean in C#? For example:
Console.WriteLine(@"C\:\\WINNT\\System32");

TIA



Thanks,

The @ prevents C# from interpreting the \ as an escape character. Using \\ in the string does the same thing.

do this...
Console.WriteLine(@"C\:\WINNT\System32");
or this...
Console.WriteLine("C\\:\\WINNT\\System32");
