string bla = @"

Question

I have seen this syntax
string bla = @"
Now is the time for all good men";
I'm not realy clear on what is happening here. Is this just a way to put a string on several lines without having to use the + operator?

Great, thanks for the information.

the @ signifies that the string of text should be taken literally; every character between the opening quote and the closing quote then becomes text. The main use I've seen of it is to avoid problems with the slash.
@"c:\windows\system32"
and
"c:\windows\system32\"
are the same thing.
