What do dollar symbols in C# Code mean?

Question

Today, I pull the code from my client, and I get an error in this line.

throw new Exception($"One or more errors occurred during removal of the company:{Environment.NewLine}{Environment.NewLine}{exc.Message}");

This line also

moreCompanies = $"{moreCompanies},{databaseName}";

The $ symbols is so weird with me. This is C# code.

Answer 1

The $ part tells the compiler that you want an interpolated string .

Interpolated strings are one of the new features of C# 6.0 . They allow you to substitute placeholders in a string literal with their corresponding values.

You can put almost any expression between a pair of braces ( {} ) inside an interpolated string and that expression will be substituted with the ToString representation of that expression's result.

When the compiler encounters an interpolated string, it immediately converts it into a call to the String.Format function. It is because of this that your first listing is essentially the same as writing:

throw new Exception(string.Format(
    "One or more errors occured during removal of the company:{0}{1}{2}", 
    Envrionment.NewLine, 
    Environment.NewLine, 
    exc.Message));

As you can see, interpolated strings allow you to express the same thing in a much more succinct manner and in a way that is easier to get correct.
