Partial escaping of characters between MVC and javascript

Question

Background

Keeping the double backslash between server side and client side.

View Model

MyViewModel.Users { get "'domain\\user1', 'domain\\user2'"; }

Markup

On the page I output using:

var userArray = [ @Html.Raw(Model.Users) ];

Problem

viewing source shows:

var userArray = [ 'domain\user1', 'domain\user2' ];

This is causing errors. I want to keep the single quotes but double escape the backslash.

TIA....

Answer 1

Double escaping a backslash would be "\\\\\\\\" in C#.

This gives you an internal string that has two backslashes.
