Issue with string in c#?

I am creating a string in c#.

string jsVersion = @"function getContent() {
                     var content = " + "\"" + documentString + "\"" + @"
                     return content; 
                     }";

The documentString variable contains a huge string which have line breaks also. Now in javascript when i load this string the content variable does not contains a valid string (because of line breaks).

Now how can i create a string which is valid even if there is line breaks ?

If you want to get rid of the line breaks just remove @ from the sting.

@ acts a verbatim for your string and therefor adds the line breaks you entered with your declaration.

string jsVersion = "function getContent() {
                     var content = " + "\"" + documentString + "\"" + "
                     return content; 
                     }";

should do the trick.

This will replace your line breaks with <br/>:-

stringToDecode.replace(/\n/, '&lt;br /&gt;')

Can you use string.format instead of concatenation in this fashion?

An example:

string jsVersion = string.format("function getContent() {var content = '{0}'return content; }",documentString);

You can use HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode
