What is verbatim string?

Question

What is the meaning of verbatim string and what is the usage?

Answer 1

string str = @"c:\documents and settings\";

This way you don't need to escape the backslash characters. It takes the string literally verbatim.
Very common when using for file paths, urls etc.
