Type "&" in a text label in Windows Forms?

Question

How to enter special characters in Label in C # (Windows Forms)?

If you try to write "&" in the shortcut, you get something like an underscore instead.

So what is equivalent to C # "&"? ("\ &" obviously does not work).

Answer 1

Two ways:

• Escape with another ampersand ( && ).

• Set UseMnemonic for this label to false . This makes all ampersands in the text be taken literally, so you do not need to double them. However, you lose the underline and key access features.

  You can set the value either in the constructor or in the code:

   myLabel.UseMnemonic = false; myLabel.Text = "Text&Text"; 

Answer 2

Add another ampersand in front of it, therefore: &&

Or take a look at the following: Label.UseMnemonic (MSDN documentation)

Answer 3

You can go out and, adding twice, try && .

Answer 4

I don’t know how to use '&' in the designer, but in the code you can use '& &' to show one '&'

Answer 5

Try the following:

 ((char)0x26).ToString()
