What is the difference between a regular string and a verbatim string?

Question

I have a trial version of Resharper and it always suggests that I switch regular strings to verbatim strings. What is the difference?

Answer 1

You can have multiline string too using verbatim strings:

Console.WriteLine(@"This
    is
    a
    Test
    for stackoverflow");

without @ you got an error.

In VB14 there is a new feature called Multiline Strings, it's like verbatim strings in C#.

Pro tip: VB string literals are now exactly like C# verbatim strings.
