Visual Studio replaces curly quotes by straight ones in XAML attributes

If there is some way to prevent it? Even if managed to input something, it's getting replaced while Auto-Formatting.

I could use things like ““”, but it's not very comfortable (I use an app which allows to input those symbols using simple keyboard shortcuts; also, of course, readability of source code would be decreased).

If you really want to avoid the ““” notation, you can avoid the auto-formatting either by using a Resx or by avoid using the inline property.

Resx:

<TextBlock Text="{x:Static resx:Resources.MyQuotedText}" />

Full property:

<TextBlock>
    <TextBlock.Text>“Something“</TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>
