The @prefix states hat you don't need to escape special characters in the string following to the symbol.
The following statement
@"D:\new"
is equal to:
"D:\\new"
The @ prefix is also used if you want to have large strings and want it to be displayed across multiple lines. The following is an example showing multi-line string −
using System; namespace Demo { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string str = @"Welcome User, Kindly wait for the image to load"; Console.WriteLine(str); } } }
Welcome User, Kindly wait for the image to load
