The answer to the question in the heading of this thread is that there's no practical difference between the two. "" is a string literal representing a zero length string and String.Empty is a static read-only field of the String class which returns a zero length string. I'll leave others to send you the notes.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 There is no difference. They are equivalent. There used to be a difference (before .NET 2.0), in that "" created a new, empty string object while String.Empty was a reference to a static instance of an emtpy string. This difference was removed .NET 2.0. string.empty handles memory efficently than string x=""; "" actually creates an object but string.empty does not. Also, it is a best practise to avoid hardcoding like ""; please see the following link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.empty%28v=VS.80%29.aspx String.Empty because it looks nice to me and is more readable. Also, a problem with "" is that sometimes by mistake it is written as " " which is not an empty string. However, it is just programmer's choice whether to use "" or String.Empty while the two are identical to each other.
