C#

I've been learning a little C# lately and I'm pretty excited about it. I was thinking we should probably turn the Visual Basic forum into a .NET forum.

I wanted post this because I know it could come in handy for lots of other programming. Notice what should be escaped in the following code:

Code:

string var = @"C:\WINDOWS";

That code is perfectly valid in c# because the '@' sign supresses escape chars. =)

Is there anything like that for c++?

Is this ANSI C++?

I don't think so, so why should C++ have it? Adding these features will make cross platform capacaties only more difficult.

good point =) .. i guess that is why they made c#

Oh my god, this reminds of some of the chars supressing other special chars in lisp/scheme..

What a nightmare, if you accidently mistakes one of those for one of the others.. (Am I the only one reminded by ` (ascii 96) versus ' (ascii 39) ? )
