About Csharp escape/unescape

Escapes or unescapes a C# string removing traces of offending characters that could prevent compiling.

The Csharp Escape / Csharp Unescape tool was created to help with escape special unicode characters into a quoted string literal value for C# source code and also unescape it.

What characters are replaced?

The following characters are reserved in C# and must be properly escaped to be used in strings:

• Backspace is replaced with \b
• Newline is replaced with \n
• Tab is replaced with \t
• Carriage return is replaced with \r
• Form feed is replaced with \f
• Single quote is replaced with \'
• Double quote is replaced with \"
• Backslash is replaced with \\

How it Works?

Just paste your C# or .NET code to the textarea above and click to the button "Escape" or "Unescape" and you will get your escaped/unescaped data.

Example of C# Escaping

using System;
namespace ExampleCode {
	class Program {
		public static void value(int num) {
			num++;
		}
		public static void reference(ref int num) {
			num++;
		}
		static void Main(string[] args) {
			int num;
			Console.Write("Enter a number:\t");
			num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
			Console.WriteLine("\n\n\tValue Type");
			Console.WriteLine("----------------");
			Console.Write("\nPrevious Value:\t{0}", num);
			Program.value(num);
			Console.Write("\nCurrent Value:\t{0}", num);
			Console.WriteLine("\n\n\n----------------");
			Console.WriteLine("\tReference Type");
			Console.WriteLine("--------------------");
			Console.Write("\nPrevious Value:\t{0}", num);
			Program.reference(ref num);
			Console.Write("\nCurrent Value:\t{0}", num);
			Console.ReadLine();
		}
	}
}
