Hello

I am having problems trying to pass a string parameter to a secondary service API call.The method does not recognize the string that i am passing.My code:

StringBuilder builtString = new StringBuilder();
             string startQuote = "\""; //start quote
             string endQuote = "\""; //end quote
             string nextEntry = "\r\n"; //new line next entry
             string comma = ",";
             string slash = "\\";

             //we use batchcols to specifiy header info.
             string batchcols = "number,message";
             string number1 = "27730367747";
             string message = startQuote + "Testssss, thissss is a comma test.Please ignore plz." + slash + endQuote;
             Debug.WriteLine(message);

             builtString.Append(startQuote);
             builtString.Append(number1);
             builtString.Append(comma);
             builtString.Append(slash);
             builtString.Append(message);
             builtString.Append(endQuote);

             final = builtString.ToString();

while debugging my code the string im passing with escaped literals is:

Quote:

"\"27730367747,\\\"Testssss, thissss is a comma test.Please ignore plz.\\\"\""

But it outputs with debug.writeline(string) :(i need it to be this when passing into the method.).Can someone clarify where i am going wrong?

Quote:

"27730367747,\"Testssss, thissss is a comma test.Please ignore plz.\""

What I have tried:

I have tried string encoding with the literals.I Dont know why the string is not being recognized as the output string.I am not sure how and why it would need encoding.
