using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      string strWithTabs = "Model\tColor\tSpeed\tPet Name\a";
      Console.WriteLine(strWithTabs);
      Console.WriteLine("Everyone loves \"Hello World\"\a");

  }

Escape sequences in strings: embed quotes

using System; 
 
class Example {    
  public static void Main() {    
 
    Console.WriteLine("\"Why?\", he asked."); 
  }
}

"Why?", he asked.

Escape sequences in strings: \n (new line)

using System; 
 
class Example {    
  public static void Main() {    
    Console.WriteLine("Line One\nLine Two\nLine Three"); 
  }    
}

Line One
Line Two
Line Three

Escape sequences in strings: \t (tab)

using System; 
 
class Example {    
  public static void Main() {    
    Console.WriteLine("One\tTwo\tThree"); 
    Console.WriteLine("Four\tFive\tSix"); 
  }
}

One     Two     Three
Four    Five    Six

Special characters

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
public class MainClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Single quote \\": {0} ({1})", "\"", (int)"\"");
        Console.WriteLine("Double quote \\\": {0} ({1})", "\"", (int)"\"");
        Console.WriteLine("Backslash \\\\: {0} ({1})", "\\", (int)"\\");
        Console.WriteLine("Unicode null \\0: {0} ({1})", "\0", (int)"\0");
        Console.WriteLine("Alert \\a: {0} ({1})", "\a", (int)"\a");
        Console.WriteLine("Backspace \\b: {0} ({1})", "\b", (int)"\b");
        Console.WriteLine("Horizontal tab \\t: {0} ({1})", "\t", (int)"\t");
        Console.WriteLine("Newline \\r: {0} ({1})", "\r", (int)"\r");
        Console.WriteLine("Vertical quote \\v: {0} ({1})", "\v", (int)"\v");
        Console.WriteLine("Form feed \\f: {0} ({1})", "\f", (int)"\f");
        Console.WriteLine("Carriage return \\r: {0} ({1})", "\r", (int)"\r");
    }
}

Single quote \": " (39)
Double quote \": " (34)
Backslash \\: \ (92)
Unicode null \0:   (0)
Alert \a:  (7)
Backspace \b: (8)
Horizontal tab \t:       (9)
 (13)ne \r:
Vertical quote \v:  (11)
Form feed \f:  (12)

The following string is printed verbatim thus, all escape characters are displayed.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(@"C:\MyApp\bin\Debug\a");
    }
  }

White space is preserved with verbatim strings

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      // White space is preserved with verbatim strings.
      string myLongString = @"This is a very
                 very 
                      very 
                           long string";
      Console.WriteLine(myLongString);
    }
  }
