What does "@" mean before a string?

Question

I saw this notation with paths:

string myfolder = @"C:\Users\";

But also with normal strings.

It means it's a literal string, so won't treat \ as an escape character, for example. This page should help you understand it better.

Not sure why you got downvoted... People seem to be so trigger-happy lately. – Rob Oct 28 '14 at 10:38
