I need to know how to be able to type a quotation mark into a text box in Visual Basic 2008.

like so...

TextBox1.Text = "[a href=""]LINK[/a]"

Had to substitute the < and > for [ and ].

That is a bad example, because I've already gotten that to work for me... but like how to get the Quotes after the href= to show up in the textbox.

VB

TextBox1.Text = "<a href=""someUrl.com"">LinkText</a>"

You type two quotes in a string to get one quote. Also, FYI, you type < to make a < and > to make a >. The Code Project editor will actually take care of that for you, though. You just check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox (located just below the editor).
