Built in method to get C-style escaped sequence for a string

Question

Is there a built method in .Net for C-style escaping of strings?

For example, I have to convert a string which contains quotes like "hello", and write it as an escaped string \"hello\".

Actually, to be more precise:

string original = "\"hello\"";

should be converted to

string what_i_need = "\\\"hello\\\"";

I could have probably done it myself while writing this question, but I don't want to reinvent hot water.

[Edit] According to the provided answer, this is actually a duplicate of: Can I convert a C# string value to a string literal. It didn't pop out since there were no tags and keywords I was looking for.

I dont think there is any built in methods. But if you have to write your own, Can I convert a C# string value to a string literal post maybe helpful
