    What is the purpose of @ here?

    Here is the example,
    Code:
    string ex = @"This has a carriage return\r\n"
    Thanks.

    It declares the string to be literal. It will therefore NOT interpret \r as a carriage return escape sequence and \n as a newline escape sequence. Read more at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.71).aspx

    Really, Larry? Instead of posting a question like this to the forum, why not remove the @ and see what happens? Then look in msdn if you still have questions.
