VB -> C#: Multi line strings

[wizzardmr42]

VB.Net input code

            Dim tmp = "
"

Erroneous output

string tmp = "
";

Expected output

var tmp = @"
";

VS extension 9.2.7.0

Can you explain further why the current output causes you a problem?
It's valid csharp and most accurately reflects the input as far as I can see.
@ indicates a verbatim string, so your suggested output would literally contain the backslash character rather than a newline.

Sorry, it looks like I went too far trying to get a minimal sample. I wasn't familiar with verbatim strings. I'll have to try it again and see what was causing the compiler errors. It might have been something to do with string interpolation.

Thanks that makes sense, should be easy to test and fix here if anyone wants to have a go:

CodeConverter/CodeConverter/CSharp/LiteralConversions.cs

Lines 88 to 97 in 68299ab

	internal static string GetQuotedStringTextForUser(string textForUser, string valueTextForCompiler)
	{
	var sourceUnquotedTextForUser = Unquote(textForUser);
	var worthBeingAVerbatimString = IsWorthBeingAVerbatimString(valueTextForCompiler);
	var destQuotedTextForUser =
	$"\"{EscapeQuotes(sourceUnquotedTextForUser, valueTextForCompiler, worthBeingAVerbatimString)}\"";
	return worthBeingAVerbatimString ? "@" + destQuotedTextForUser : destQuotedTextForUser;
	}
