Interpolation in the middle of a string

Question

I want to interpolation in the middle of a string, but I cannot use String.Format, because the string contains {} curly brackets.

This is what I have tried so far:

string code = "(function(){var myvariable = $"{variableToBeInterpolated}"});"

Returns: ) expected ; expected

Edit: I tried the following snippet, the interpolation is now working, but the code is not executed in the browser.

"(function(){var myvariable=" + $"{myvariable c#}" + ")});"

General Information

With C# version 6, extensive string interpolation capabilities have been added to the language.

String interpolation provides a more readable and convenient syntax to create formatted strings than a string composite formatting feature.

To solve your problem, please have a look at the special characters section of the documentation, which reads the following:

To include a brace, "{" or "}", in the text produced by an interpolated string, use two braces, "{{" or "}}".

Example

var variable = 10;
var code = $"(function() {{ var myVariable = {variable} }});";
Console.WriteLine(code);

Output: (function() { var myVariable = 10 });
