@dramonai: that doesn't work in VB.

For double-quotes, you write double-double quotes:

Console.WriteLine("""Hello!""")

EDIT:

alternatively:

Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Quote + "Hello" + ControlChars.Quote)

hmmm not getting that to work

What is going on with the multiple quotes? :p

Console.WriteLine("HELLO") 

This won't however, write to a file.

I think he wants to know how to print the quotes themselves.

Console.WriteLine("\"Hello\"")

No. Escape characters are members of ControlChars in VB as I illustrated.
