how to insert "{0}" as a string in c#

Question

One of the strings I want to pass into a function contains {0}, which is a placeholder escape character in c#.

What is the correct syntax to get c# to ignore this? i tried encasing it in single quotes ('), but no good

Try `{{0}}`, should work fine. – MarcinJuraszek Jan 06 '14 at 22:24 — MarcinJuraszek, Jan 06 '14 at 22:24

Use double curly brackets.

Ex. '{0}' becomes '{{0}}'
