string bla = @"

Question

I have seen this syntax string bla = @ Now is the time for all good men; I'm not realy clear on what is happening here. Is this just a way to put a string on several lines without having to use the + operator?

Great thanks for the information.

the @ signifies that the string of text should be taken literally; every character between the opening quote and the closing quote then becomes text. The main use I've seen of it is to avoid problems with the slash. @c:\windows\system32\ and c:\windows\system32\ are the same thing.
