Using the literal '@' with a string variable
c#, string
Solution
I don't think you have to worry about it if you already have the value. The @ operator is for when you're specifying the string (like in your first code snippet).
What are you attempting to do with the path string that isn't working?
Problem
I have a helper class pulling a string from an XML file. That string is a file path (so it has backslashes in it). I need to use that string as it is... How can I use it like I would with the literal command? Instead of this: ``` string filePath = @"C:\somepath\file.txt"; ``` I want to do this: ``` string filePath = @helper.getFilePath(); //getFilePath returns a string ``` This isn't how I am actually using it; it is just to make what I mean a little clearer. Is there some sort of .ToLiteral() or something?
