Answer 1

In C# you can use the backslash to put special characters to your string. For example, to put ", you need to write \". There are a lot of characters that you write using the backslash: Backslash with a number:

• \000 null
• \010 backspace
• \011 horizontal tab
• \012 new line
• \015 carriage return
• \032 substitute
• \042 double quote
• \047 single quote
• \134 backslash
• \140 grave accent

Backslash with othe character

• \a Bell (alert)
• \b Backspace
• \f Formfeed
• \n New line
• \r Carriage return
• \t Horizontal tab
• \v Vertical tab
• \' Single quotation mark
• \" Double quotation mark
• \ Backslash
• \? Literal question mark
• \ ooo ASCII character in octal notation
• \x hh ASCII character in hexadecimal notation
• \x hhhh Unicode character in hexadecimal notation if this escape sequence is used in a wide-character constant or a Unicode string literal. For example, WCHAR f = L'\x4e00' or WCHAR b[] = L"The Chinese character for one is \x4e00".
