Creating a literal

<source lang="csharp">

using System; class Test {

  public static void Main() {
    // Create a simple string literal
    string s1 = "This is a test";
    // Create a string literal with an escaped character
    string s2 = "This is a \"real\" test";
    // Create a string literal with the @ sign
    string s3 = @"This is a \real\ test";
    // Output them
    Console.WriteLine("String 1 = {0}", s1 );
    Console.WriteLine("String 2 = {0}", s2 );
    Console.WriteLine("String 3 = {0}", s3 );
 }

}

       string lit3 = @"

line one line two ";

       Console.WriteLine( lit3 );
       Console.WriteLine( "Object.RefEq(lit1, lit2): {0}",
                          Object.ReferenceEquals(lit1, lit2) );
