  Back slash in C#

  Mar 26, 2005 05:26 AM|LINK

  To quote back slash "\" in C#,  is it "\\" or something else? This is for searching a back slash in a string.
  Thanks.

  Hi,

  take a look at the specifications: String literals.

  The \ works like an escaping character.

  or you can use the '@' character...
  
  example:
  
  string a = @"C:\Windows\tmp";
