How do people normally handle a long text string that you create in code

This is what i normally do but was hoping this is an obsolete technique? I hate having to esacpe the characters eg the double quotes within the quotes!


POAck.AppendLine("<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>")

POAck.AppendLine("<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM ""http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.009/cXML.dtd"";>")

POAck.AppendLine("<cXML payloadID=""" & Payloadid & """ timestamp=""" & TimeStamp & """ xml:lang=""en-US"">")

                   POAck.AppendLine("<Response>")

POAck.AppendLine("<Status code=""200"" text=""Successful received purchase order..thank you""/>")

                   POAck.AppendLine("</Response>")

                   POAck.AppendLine("</cXML>")

Hi Anthony,

I usually...

[C#]
string multiline = "deerppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp " +
"derp derp derp herp herp herp derp derp derp herp herp herp derp derp derp herp herp herp " + "rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble";

with {\"} for quotation if used.

It looks like your example is VB...

dim multiline as string = "deerppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp " & _
"derp derp derp herp herp herp derp derp derp herp herp herp derp derp derp herp herp herp " & _ "rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble";

I don't think you can avoid the multiple quotes ("") in .NET. In PHP, you can use single quotes for strings, then happily use double quotes inside, I have no idea what .NET does about this, if anything. (Anyone else in the know?)

Herp herp derp,
