Think you got it just a little bit off:

string s = "\"[SomeFolder]Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\start.exe\" \"abc.dll\"";

Do you mean something like

C#

string s = "[SomeFolder]Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\start.exe\" \"abc.dll\"";

Alternative version

C#

string s = @"[SomeFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\start.exe"" ""abc.dll""";

but i want '"(single quote and then double quotes) also in my string

If you use @, the for each quote you want in your result, you must add two of them inside the string.

I was just about to write an example, but it's working for you now? Great, if it is :)

newbie_25 23-May-12 15:18pm

no it's not :( pls write your example... what i tried was
@"''""[SomeFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\start.exe"" ""abc.dll""'' "

Does this produce the desired result

string t1 = @"'""[SomeFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\start.exe"" ""abc.dll""'";
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(t1);

See the output window how the string formats. And remember that if you have a look at the variable value using the debugger, it's showing you the escaped format
