In order to put a " in a VB.Net string literal, you need to write "".

For example:

   "<a href=""" & HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) _
 & """target=_""blank"">" & HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(TitleTextBox.Text) & "</a>"

You can use triple quotes such as """

It sounds like you're trying to add quotes into the final string produced from the expression. In order to do that use a pair of double quotes "". For example

"<a href=""" & OpenFileDialog1.FileName & """></a>"
