How to use "\" in a string without making it an escape sequence - C#?

Question

I'm sure this is something really basic that I don't know but how do I make it not recognize "\" as an escape sequence inside a string

I'm trying to type in a path and it thinks it is an escape sequence

Answer 1

It's pretty simple, just do two slashes:

\\

Answer 2

string s = @"C:\Temp";

Answer 3

use "\\"

Funny thing: I had to escape \ using \\.

Answer 4

You can use Verbatim String Literals:

//Initialize with a regular string literal.
string oldPath = "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0";

// Initialize with a verbatim string literal.
string newPath = @"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0";

Answer 5

It's Simple... Just put '@' symbol before your string, then it never care for your escape sequences...like this

string name=@"lndebi\n\nlndebi";

the output will be lndebi\n\nlndebi.
