Verbatim Literals in Managed C++? (like C#'s @"blah")

Question

Is there a way to use verbatim String literals in managed C++? Similar to C#'s

String Docs = @"c:\documents and settings\"

Answer 1

This is not currently possible. Managed C++ string literals have almost the exact same rules as normal C++ strings. The managed C++ spec is in fact just an augmentation of the ANSI C++ standard.

Currently there is no support for C# style literal syntax in C++ (managed or not). You must manually escape every character.

See Section 9.1.3.3 in the C++/CLI spec for more details. (Spec Link)
