Can I escape a double quote in a verbatim string literal?

Question

In a verbatim string literal (@\"foo\") in C#, backslashes aren\'t treated as escapes, so doing \\\" to get a double quote doesn\'t work. Is there any way to get a double qu

Answer 1

For adding some more information, your example will work without the @ symbol (it prevents escaping with \), this way:

string foo = "this \"word\" is escaped!";

It will work both ways but I prefer the double-quote style for it to be easier working, for example, with filenames (with lots of \ in the string).
