There are a lot of ways of doing so... But I personally prefer the
following:

Dim strMyString as string = "ABCDEFG~HIJK"
strMyString.Replace("~", chr(34))

Just put two " into the string: myString = "Hello ""World"""

would be: Hello "World"

\\\
Dim s As String = _
"He said: ""Hello World!"""
Dim t As String = _
"He said: " & ControlChars.Quote & "Hello World!" & ControlChars.Quote
///

Notice that there is no performance loss in using the string
concatenation operator in the 2nd sample, the string is concatenated by
the compiler and stored as a single constant in the assembly.

FYI, the ControlChars.Quote method is my favorite.
It is very clear what you are doing and makes code very readable and
maintainable.
Much more so than "" """", which can be confused with '', '''' (single quotes)
IMHO, I would recommend this as a "best practice".

I always use the double quotes inside the string literal. It's IMO just
a matter of personal preference.

I wouldn't. I find the string concatenation much harder to read.

I suppose it is personal preference.
Personally, I like to see the quotes stand out as in the concatenation.
Really helps me visualize exactly what is going on, especially when constructing
SQL statements.
Either way works just great.
