Problem with string assignment escape character

[vcdebugger]

Hi,

I am getting a escape character error when i assign a string to a text box with a '\' character

eg:

this.txtHeaderDirectory.Text = "C:\Temp";

so later i added excape character ' but still it is not working.. it is displaying C:''temp.. I want C:\Temp to be displayed.. how to do ?

thanks,

Use @:
this.txtHeaderDirectory.Text = @"C:\Temp";

Do notice that string will be saved as is (with one backspace), but it will be shown as two backspaces during debugging. This is quite normal.

[MadHatter]

this.txtHeaderDirectory.Text = "C:\\Temp"; // escape the backslash if you don't use the verbatim identifier (above)

[vcdebugger]

thanks it working fine now...
