Question on C# strings

Question

Hi All Could some one explain me the difference between the 2 lines below. string sql = @SELECT columnname  + @FROM tablename  + @WHERE ID = ' + settingId + ' ; string sql = SELECT columnname  + FROM tablename  + WHERE ID = ' + settingId + ' ; Does '@' in the first statement makes any difference?

Just to add into that: The @ symbol tells the string constructor to ignore escape characters and line breaks. The following two strings are therefore identical: string p1 =  \\My Documents\My Files\; string p2 = @ \My Documents\My Files\;
