[edit] C# String Literals
String literals enable the programmer to display or produce special characters. For Example, to print a backslash you MUST use a string literal. Here is a list of all the string literals and verbatim syntax:

Example: Lets say that you wanted to display a path to a file or save a path to a file, this is how you would do it using C#.
[edit] C# Literal:
using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\test.exe");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
[edit] C# Verbatim:
here is the second way to store or display a file path.
using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(@"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\test.exe");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
If you ever program C# in real life situations you will definitly come across this section again.
