What's the difference between double quotes and single quote in C#?
(5 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Hi does somebody know what is the difference between "" and '' in c#.
I've tried searching the web but I've found nothing.
Thx for the answers.
"Y" is a string, and 'Y' is a char.
Single quotes encode a single character (data type char), while double quotes encode a string of multiple characters. The difference is similar to the difference between a single integer and an array of integers.

I want to write something with Console.WriteLine, but the text contains "".
Example:

How to avoid this problem?
I tried '' and other symbols, but it didn't work
Use the backslash character to mark the quotations, as shown:
Console.WriteLine("example: \"this is an example\" example");
This is used in languages to mark special characters, in this case marking the quotation so that it doesn't end the string prematurely.

I'm struggling with escape characters in C#.
I'm saving a varchar field in a SQL Server database with a quote that needs to be escaped. So, an example could be something like that: (\"value\")
When my frontend application consume this value from API I get the value with a single escape character as i have in the DB.
The problem come up when consuming this API from C# code. For some reason this single character (\) is replaced for three of them (\\\).
After debugging the code I found that when I retrieve the data I get this:
debugging the value
When I click to check the value it seems OK:
Value into Text Visualizer
My question is why theese two extra backslashes are added and how can I get rid of them in order to get only one => (\").
Hope anyone can help me :)
Thanks!
You value should be correct. The debugger window escape the “/“, therefore it appears like escape(backslash)escape(quote).
(//)(/“)

I need to pass the folder path to the Python interface but spaces in the path make it complicated.
Example :
Defect.py C:\TestImage\Images works fine.
However, if there is a space in the path as below,
`Defect.py C:\**Test Image**\Images`
causes an error due to two separate parameters.
If I could pass it as :
Defect.py "C:\**Test Image**\Images" should work
So I am currently trying to use string.Format("{0}") to format this string with double quotations but does not work.
Please let me know how I could format the statement using string.Format. I need to use string.Format since there are multiple other parameters.
Try this:
string.Format("Defect.py \"C:\\{0}\\Images\"", "Test Image");
Bear in mind that the whole trick is to escape the character using the \" backslash escape character. The rest of it was just to show how to use the string.Format

Check if a string contains one of 10 characters

I have this array:
char[] signOfDecimal = {',', '.'};
and I'm trying to find the location of one of these 2 characters in my string:
locationOfDotInRate = myString.IndexOf(signOfDecimal[0], signOfDecimal[1]);
Basically I'm trying to check where one of these characters might occur in my string, but its not working. The reason I'm doing it this way is because my string sometimes contain '.' or ','.
You can use IndexOfAny method
locationOfDotInRate = myString.IndexOfAny(signOfDecimal);

is it possible to convert a string like "\u00e8" (Got it by reading a WebRequestResponse with Streamreader) to it's unicode char(è)?
Tried many things with Encoding, but nothing works.
You can use Regex.Unescape(), which unescapes any escape sequences that are valid for a Regex (including \uXXXX). Note that it also unescapes other sequences like \t, \n, and \[.
