How do i store it.

Answer 1

You need to escape the inner " by doubling them:

Dim link As String="<a href=""javascript:changePage('5')"">Overview</a>"

The C# version can be one of:

var link = @"<a href=""javascript:changePage('5')"">Overview</a>"

var link = "<a href=\"javascript:changePage('5')\">Overview</a>"

Answer 2

Just use single quotes within the literal denoted by double quotes. Doing this with markup that will be output to the browser will result in invalid markup for single quotes within quotes - in that case you can escape the double quotes with another 'set' of double quotes.

Dim link As String = "<a href=""javascript:changePage('5')"">Overview</a>"

Answer 3

I have been out of VB.NET for a long time, in C-Sharp it can be done like:

String link = "<a href=\"javascript:changePage('5')\">Overview</a>";

I hope it will give you an idea, you will have to escape the inner double quotes.

Answer 4

用途如下：

Dim link As String = "<a href=\"javascript:changePage('5')\">Overview</a>"
