How do I escape quotes inside attribute in razor pages

Question

I'm trying to pass two strings as parameters for constructor which is already embedded inside attribute with double quotes:

 <select asp-for="Employee.StockId" asp-items="@new SelectList(Model.Stocks, "Id", "Name")" class="form-control"></select>

I've tried escaping with backslashes or @ but still no success.

Edit: So, there are two options which actually worked:

asp-items='@new SelectList(Model.Stocks, "Id", "Name")'
asp-items="@new SelectList(Model.Stocks,@{"Id"}, @{"Name"})"

This may help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3626250/escape-character-in-razor-view-engine Have you tried `@@` ? — Jaskier, Jan 24 '19 at 16:20

First one is not valid but the second is. Actually I found out that `@{"Id"}, @{"Name"}` also works. – Maksym Jan 24 '19 at 16:32
