String with double quotes

I have a label control on my form. I'm assigning a text to the label at
runtime.
The problem is that the string that I'm trying to assign also contains text
in double quotes.So when I try n assign this to the label I face a problem.
my code is using vb.net

Please help me out in getting this thing done, Is there any in-built
function or property to handle the same?

thanx
GaneshAre you getting any specific error messages?

You may need to encode your string using System.Web.HttpUtilites.HtmlEncode,
before putting it into your label.

All you need to do is use "double double" quotes (a term I just made up):

For example:

lblMain.text = """Hello World """

will show on your screen as:

"Hello World"

lblMain.text = """" + "Hello World" + """"

will produce the same result!

Hope this helps you!

Your best bet would probably be to HTML-encode the string. e.g.:

someLabel.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(yourString)

This will replace the quotes with " named entity, as well as escaping
other HTML that might potentially cause problems (e.g.: unexpected page
modifications or cross-site scripting).

No I don't get any specific error message.
The problem is that I'm reading this from a source where the text contains
phrases that are mentioned in double quotes.
So i dont know how do I handle this.

Hi Ganesh,

There are two ways to have double quote sign in string:

1) Dim strQuote As String = "text""" ' It shows text"

2) Dim strQuote As String = "text" & Chr(34) ' It also
shows text"
