How can I add double quotes to a string that is inside a variable?

Question

I have a string variable such as this:

string title = string.empty;

I have to display the content of whatever is passed to it inside a div within double quotes. I have written something like this:

...
...
<div>"+ title +@"</div>
...
...

How can I add the double quotes here? So that it will display like:

"How to add double quotes"

Answer 1

You need to escape them by doubling them (verbatim string literal):

string str = @"""How to add doublequotes""";

Or with a normal string literal you escape them with a \:

string str = "\"How to add doublequotes\"";

Update:

With C# 11, you can use raw string literals:

string str = """
    "How to add doublequotes"
    """
