ASP.NET escape quotes?

[cooleo100d]

Hi,

In ASP.NET, when you have quotes within a variable, how do you escape them?

For instance, it might look like this:
myvar = "<input type="text" name="mytext">"

I know in PHP this is so easy because you can just use a \".

Does anybody have any idea how this would be done in ASP.NET?

Thanks for your help,

Two single quotes should work:

Response.Write("''this is a quote''")

Do you mean ''"'' will escape it? I tried it, and it didn't seem to work.

Ok I got it. It's like:
myvar = "This is ""cool"" !!!!"

I meant to say two double quotes my bad, if you're using c# you'll be able to use the \ sequence in occasions, but you can just go:

myvar = "<input type=""text"" name=""mytext"">"

Edit:
lol glad you got it working...

You can replace single quotes with two single quotes.
