Small C# Problem - quotation marks in string

Hi, im having trouble with quotation marks in a string.. here is the code that is bugging me..

html.WriteLine("<img src=""images//" & file & """ />");

i need it to output the line as follows:

<img src="images/imagename.jpg" />

the imagename.jpg is define in the file string.

the errors are as follows:

Error    1    ) expected    C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Project01\Project01\Form1.cs    63    43    Project01



Error    2    ; expected    C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Project01\Project01\Form1.cs    63    65    Project01



Error    3    ; expected    C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Project01\Project01\Form1.cs    63    70    Project01



Error    4    Invalid expression term ')'    C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Project01\Project01\Form1.cs    63    70    Project01

thanks in advance...

Use the escape sequence \" to display the quotation mark otherwise it will exit the string literal in the function argument.

html.WriteLine("<img src=\"images//\" & file & "\" />");

Or something along those lines.

Try this:

html.WriteLine("<img src=\"images//\"" + file + "\" />");

You can use the @ before the strign, if i am not mistaken like :

@"<img src=""images//" & file & "" />"

This tells the compiler to take the string as is, a preformatted string.

Odd how I never knew that. Handy tip though, I'm assuming the @ symbol acts as a compiler preprocessor and formats the string for you.

Cheers for the tip, pegasus.
