How to replace straight quotation mark (")

Question

I would like to replace a straight quotation mark (\") using C#.

I might be missing something small, but I can\'t get it with a normal string.Replace();

Answer 1

someWord.Replace("\"", "&");

or

someWord.Replace(@"""", "&");

(Quotes are escaped as \" in regular strings and "" in verbatim strings.)

But you probably meant

someWord.Replace("\"", """);

since the HTML entity for straight quotation marks is ", not &.
