Multiline String Literal in C# -

is there easy way create multiline string literal in c#?

here's have now:

string query = "select foo, bar" + " table" + " id = 42"; 

i know php has

<<<block  block; 

does c# have similar?

you can use @ symbol in front of string form verbatim string literal:

string query = @"select foo, bar table id = 42"; 

you do not have escape special characters when use method, except double quotes shown in jon skeet's answer.
