What is the best way of using this string value in c#?

Whats the best way to make the following HTML text block a hardcoded string object in c#? I need it for a test can't use the @ operator since it just stops at the first ". Any ideas?

If you don't want to embed it like Jon Skeet's answer, you'll have to change all occurences of " to "".

You can use @ but you have to escape any " as "" (double)

There is no other way as far as I have found.

First lines would then be

@"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"">

<HTML>

I would suggest you put it in a text file that you then embed into the assembly. That way you can edit it with syntax highlighting etc, and it won't clutter up your code.

Use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to load it again at execution time. If you do this a fair amount, you might want to write helper methods to do it more easily.
