What is @ in front of a string in C#?
It marks the string as a verbatim string literal.
In C#, a verbatim string is created using a special symbol @. @ is known as a verbatim identifier. If a string contains @ as a prefix followed by double quotes, then compiler identifies that string as a verbatim string and compile that string. The main advantage of @ symbol is to tell the string constructor to ignore escape characters and line breaks.
Example
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace DemoApplication{
class Program{
static void Main(string[] args){
Console.WriteLine("test string
test string");
Console.WriteLine(@"test string
test string");
//Both the below statements are same.
string jsonString1 = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\Json.json");
string jsonString2 = File.ReadAllText("D:\Json.json");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}Output
The output of the above code is as follows.
test string test string test string
test string
