Why isn't quotation Mark between quotation Mark(String defining) possible?

[kimiraikkonen]

I'm using VB.NET 05 express and i have to declare a simple string
like:

Dim mystring As String
mystring = " " "


But that doesn't work.



In order to define quotation mark, strings are entered between
quotation mark
of VB.NET enviroment:


For example


mystring = "something" is OK but mystring = " " " doesn't work


How can i fix it? How can i define a quotation mark as string?


Thanks.

Add a quotation mark prior to that mark.

mystring = " "" "

This can be confusing to read in code though if you use it alot, so
you may want to use a constant to represent the quotation mark
instead.

Const quote as String = " "" "

mystring = "some text" & quote & "some more text" & quote

This may already be a constant in vb for this, but i can't remember,
someone else I'm sure will chime in with another way...

- Show quoted text -

Hi Charlie and thanks;

mystring = " "" " wasn't useful for me due to 2 spaces at the
beginning and end, but mystring = """" worked! (4 consecutive
quatation marks)

Thanks.

Const quote as String = " "" "

=> 'ControlChars.Quote'.

try
mystring = chr(34)

You might have problems with CHR() if you are using a non-ASCII characterset.

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=F6ran_Andersson?=]

=> 'ControlChars.Quote'.

And I can't figure out what possessed them to put the quotation mark
among the control characters...

In that case, use CharW(someNumber)
