If I write something like this:

string s = @"...."......";

it doesn't work.

If I try this:

string s = @"...\".....";

it doesn't work either.

The double character usage also works with the characters { and } when you're using string.Format and you want to include a literal instance of either rather than indicate a parameter argument, for example:

string jsString = string.Format(
    "var jsonUrls = {{firstUrl: '{0}', secondUrl: '{1}'}};",
    firstUrl,
    secondUrl
    );

string s = "...\"....."; should work

the @ disables escapes so if you want to use \" then no @ symbol

Personally i think you should go with 

string s = string.format("{0}\"{1},"something","something else");

it makes it easier in the long run
