Escaping single quote in String.Format()

Question

I have been all over the \'tubes and I can\'t figure this one out. Might be simple.

The following String.Format call:

return dt.ToString         


        

Answer 1

You can escape it using a backslash which you will have to escape. Either

return dt.ToString(@"MMM d \'yy 'at' H:mmm");

or

return dt.ToString("MMM d \\'yy 'at' H:mmm");
