How to escape double quotes with string interpolation

Question

I have this:

var s = $"my name is {model.Name}":

and I want the string to be:

"my name is "someone""

How can I do this?

@bernlim No, string interpolation is something different than the string verbatim. — Patrick Hofman, Aug 17 '18 at 09:02

Simply like you would do without string interpolation:

var s = $"my name is \"{model.Name}\"";

With the string verbatim it gets a little different:

var s = $@"my name is ""{model.Name}""";

No, you don't. You are looking at the debugger, aren't you? – Patrick Hofman Aug 17 '18 at 08:30

You have to use the backslash like this:

var s = $"my name is \"{model.Name}\"";

You can use double quote escape \":

var s = $"my name is \"{model.name}\"";

You can find here and here more character escape sequences available in .NET.
