Declaring a string in C# vs VB.NET

Question

In the middle of attaching a Google Custom Search Engine onto my page,

I have a string which I would declare in C# as

String rxPattern = "<(?>\"[^\"]\"|'[^']'|[^'\">])*>";

How do I convert it to a string in VB? I mean store the same value into the string variable rxPattern using VB/VB.NET?

Answer 1

Replace your \" with "" (double-double quotes) and get rid of the semi-colon:

Dim rxPattern As String = "<(?>""[^""]""|'[^']'|[^'"">])*>"
