All strings are unicode. Could you give more details about what you
really mean?

 

[Jack Meyhoff]

L"" is a unicode string, S"" is a .net string

What is the difference here?

 

[Jon Skeet]

L"" is a unicode string, S"" is a .net string

That looks like C++ to me, not C#.

What is the difference here?

I suspect that actually, L"" is a unicode character pointer in C++, and
S"" is a reference to a .NET String instance - but I don't know for
sure.

Hi Tony,

The String class in .NET (System.String) is unicode. Please refer to MSDN
documentation:

String Class

frlrfsystemstringclasstopic.asp

Hope this helps.
