Can I convert a C# string value to an escaped string literal

Question

In C#, can I convert a string value to a string literal, the way I would see it in code? I would like to replace tabs, newlines, etc. with their escape sequences.

My attempt at adding ToVerbatim to Hallgrim's accepted answer above:

private static string ToLiteral(string input)
{
    using (var writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        using (var provider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp"))
        {
            provider.GenerateCodeFromExpression(new CodePrimitiveExpression(input), writer, new CodeGeneratorOptions { IndentString = "\t" });
            var literal = writer.ToString();
            literal = literal.Replace(string.Format("\" +{0}\t\"", Environment.NewLine), "");           
            return literal;
        }
    }
}

private static string ToVerbatim( string input )
{
    string literal = ToLiteral( input );
    string verbatim = "@" + literal.Replace( @"\r\n", Environment.NewLine );
    return verbatim;
}
