Little Known Fact: How do you Escape a Curly Brace in a Format String?

Comments (17) | Share

Needing to spew out some javascript as a format template I ran into the issue of how do you escape a curly brace for String.Format.

Obviously \{ doesnt work.

Googling around brought me to this Forum.

Guess what a double curly brace works.

So the format string becomes

• "function foo(){{ document.write("{0}"); }}"
