StringBuilder - how to escape double-quotes

Question

_{Monday, September 26, 2011 3:39 AM}

I'm putting together a custom JSON string via the StringBuilder, and ran into an odd issue with escaped double-quotes. Escaping them works, but the backslash used to escape them is included after the call 'ToString()'. I don't run into this issue with string variables. I need to get this working to reduce overhead. 

Any advice?

Until we dont see your example, we can onyl guess what you want to.

So here`s an exmple of using quotation marks in string and stingBuilder class:

            string a1 = "text\"some text in quotes\" next text."; //1st option
            string a2 = @"text""som text in quotes"" next text."; //2nd option

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.AppendLine(a1);
            sb.AppendLine(a2);

            Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
            Console.ReadLine();

usually adding extra double quotes would do the trick... however, do you have sample codes to analyze?

Hi Ironwill,

you can use replace function to remove Double quotes like this

            String sData= char.ConvertFromUtf32(34) + " Sample Data " + char.ConvertFromUtf32(34);
            MessageBox.Show(sData);
            sData = sData.Replace(char.ConvertFromUtf32(34) ,"");
            MessageBox.Show(sData);

Happy Coding, RDRaja
