Defining a long string in Razor

Question

I want to define a long string and use it as a parameter in a helper class.

I have the following code that does not compile

@{
var code ="
new TEL_Helper 
{ 
   URI = "[e-mail]", 
   Type = TEL_TelecomType.Email, 
   Use = TEL_TelecomUse.VacationHome 
}"

Html.SyntaxXML(code)
}

How to define a line that spans multiple lines and has line breaks.

and solution used:

@{
var code =@"
new TEL_Helper 
{ 
    URI = '[e-mail]', 
    Type = TEL_TelecomType.Email, 
    Use = TEL_TelecomUse.VacationHome 
}";

 Html.SyntaxXML(code);
 }

Answer 1

You are looking for a standard C # string string literal.

            var code = @"
new TEL_Helper 
{ 
   URI = ""[e-mail]"", 
   Type = TEL_TelecomType.Email, 
   Use = TEL_TelecomUse.VacationHome 
}"

Answer 2

Just break the string into pieces and concatenate:

@{
    var code =
         "new TEL_Helper " +
         "{ " +
             "URI = \"[e-mail]\"," +
         "}";
}

Remember to avoid quotation marks inside the string.
