Escaping a block of text in MikTeX?

Question

I am trying to insert a block of code into MikTeX which contains many reserved characters. Is there any way I can escape the whole block of code so that the conversion engine does not try to evaluate it?

I suppose this would only work if the the code had balanced brackets. Is there a way I can convert the block of text so that all individual reserved characters are escaped?

Unfortunately, being in a Windows environment seems to limit my options slightly, but if you know of a way I could achieve this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

You should simply be able to wrap it in a lstlisting block?
