easy question...... I am having dumb moment.
-
i have looked in my books, I have looked online, I have looked in code Project. Why can't I find this simple answer to my question. I must not be working it correctly on the search engines. Maybe someone here can help me. Here is goes. This should be a no brainer. I want to write to a file. I want to put a literal " in the string. How do I do that in Vb .net? I tried """ with no luck. So, does anyone know this answer that I should probably be able to recite in my sleep.

Use 4 double quotes. One for each of start and end of string, 1 as an escape character and 1 for the string content. Great syntax vb uses here!

In addition to the above posts, if you have to add a lot of quotes as you are creating a string, I would suggest creating a quote String and then just add it wherever you need a quote.
Dim quoteStr As String = """" MsgBox(quoteStr + "Hello" + quoteStr)It makes it easier to read if you are working with lots of strings. -

You can also do Chr(34) where you want the quotes.
MsgBox(Chr(34) & "This is in quotes." & Chr(34))
But that's just nasty as all hell, obviously.

When I am not in C# I still use the Convert.ToChar(10)+Convert.ToChar(13) for a return/newline character.
