Answer 1

you need to prefix your strings with @ which makes it a verbatim string, then just use " two times

@"<a href=""javascript:txtreplace('text to replace')"">" + lbltext.Text  + @"</a>"

or you escape the " with a \

"<a href=\"javascript:txtreplace('text to replace')\">" + lbltext.Text  + "</a>"

here`s some more info about verbatim and regular strings in c#
