How to store code/programs written in any programming language in SQL Server

I have to display some C# code on a page of my web application (ASP.NET MVC application). How can i store C# code (program) in SQL Server ? Consider that i have the following code:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}

How can i store this code in SQL Server, so that when my application reads the code from the database, the code can be displayed as it is on the page.

Here is a simple SQL Server script demonstrating the concept of storing multi-line string data (such as a code snippet) in a database table:

create table CodeExamples(Id int identity(1,1), Code varchar(max));

insert into CodeExamples(Code) select 'public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}';

select * from CodeExamples;
