一个更结构化的方法，包括字符串和字符的所有转义序列，是:

它不会用对应的文字替换Unicode字符。它也不能煮鸡蛋。

public class ReplaceString
{
    static readonly IDictionary<string, string> m_replaceDict
        = new Dictionary<string, string>();

    const string ms_regexEscapes = @"[\a\b\f\n\r\t\v\\""]";

    public static string StringLiteral(string i_string)
    {
        return Regex.Replace(i_string, ms_regexEscapes, match);
    }

    public static string CharLiteral(char c)
    {
        return c == '\'' ? @"'\''" : string.Format("'{0}'", c);
    }

    private static string match(Match m)
    {
        string match = m.ToString();
        if (m_replaceDict.ContainsKey(match))
        {
            return m_replaceDict[match];
        }

        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }

    static ReplaceString()
    {
        m_replaceDict.Add("\a", @"\a");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\b", @"\b");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\f", @"\f");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\n", @"\n");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\r", @"\r");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\t", @"\t");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\v", @"\v");

        m_replaceDict.Add("\\", @"\\");
        m_replaceDict.Add("\0", @"\0");

        //The SO parser gets fooled by the verbatim version
        //of the string to replace - @"\"""
        //so use the 'regular' version
        m_replaceDict.Add("\"", "\\\"");
    }

    static void Main(string[] args){

        string s = "here's a \"\n\tstring\" to test";
        Console.WriteLine(ReplaceString.StringLiteral(s));
        Console.WriteLine(ReplaceString.CharLiteral('c'));
        Console.WriteLine(ReplaceString.CharLiteral('\''));

    }
}

public static class StringHelpers
{
    private static Dictionary<string, string> escapeMapping = new Dictionary<string, string>()
    {
        {"\"", @"\\\"""},
        {"\\\\", @"\\"},
        {"\a", @"\a"},
        {"\b", @"\b"},
        {"\f", @"\f"},
        {"\n", @"\n"},
        {"\r", @"\r"},
        {"\t", @"\t"},
        {"\v", @"\v"},
        {"\0", @"\0"},
    };

    private static Regex escapeRegex = new Regex(string.Join("|", escapeMapping.Keys.ToArray()));

    public static string Escape(this string s)
    {
        return escapeRegex.Replace(s, EscapeMatchEval);
    }

    private static string EscapeMatchEval(Match m)
    {
        if (escapeMapping.ContainsKey(m.Value))
        {
            return escapeMapping[m.Value];
        }
        return escapeMapping[Regex.Escape(m.Value)];
    }
}

有趣的问题。

如果你找不到更好的方法，你可以随时替换。 如果你选择它，你可以使用这个c#转义序列列表:

\' - single quote, needed for character literals \" - double quote, needed for string literals \ - backslash \0 - Unicode character 0 \a - Alert (character 7) \b - Backspace (character 8) \f - Form feed (character 12) \n - New line (character 10) \r - Carriage return (character 13) \t - Horizontal tab (character 9) \v - Vertical quote (character 11) \uxxxx - Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxx \xn[n][n][n] - Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value nnnn (variable length version of \uxxxx) \Uxxxxxxxx - Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxxxxxx (for generating surrogates)

这个列表可以在c#常见问题中找到 有哪些字符转义序列可用?

这是一个完全可行的实现，包括Unicode和ASCII不可打印字符的转义。它没有像Hallgrim的答案那样插入“+”符号。

static string ToLiteral(string input) {
    StringBuilder literal = new StringBuilder(input.Length + 2);
    literal.Append("\"");
    foreach (var c in input) {
        switch (c) {
            case '\"': literal.Append("\\\""); break;
            case '\\': literal.Append(@"\\"); break;
            case '\0': literal.Append(@"\0"); break;
            case '\a': literal.Append(@"\a"); break;
            case '\b': literal.Append(@"\b"); break;
            case '\f': literal.Append(@"\f"); break;
            case '\n': literal.Append(@"\n"); break;
            case '\r': literal.Append(@"\r"); break;
            case '\t': literal.Append(@"\t"); break;
            case '\v': literal.Append(@"\v"); break;
            default:
                // ASCII printable character
                if (c >= 0x20 && c <= 0x7e) {
                    literal.Append(c);
                // As UTF16 escaped character
                } else {
                    literal.Append(@"\u");
                    literal.Append(((int)c).ToString("x4"));
                }
                break;
        }
    }
    literal.Append("\"");
    return literal.ToString();
}

注意，这也转义了所有Unicode字符。如果你的环境支持它们，你可以改变这一部分，只转义控制字符:

// UTF16 control characters
} else if (Char.GetUnicodeCategory(c) == UnicodeCategory.Control) {
    literal.Append(@"\u");
    literal.Append(((int)c).ToString("x4"));
} else {
    literal.Append(c);
}

以下是对Smilediver的回答的一点改进。它不会转义所有的no-ASCII字符，但只有这些是真正需要的。

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Text;

public static class CodeHelper
{
    public static string ToLiteral(this string input)
    {
        var literal = new StringBuilder(input.Length + 2);
        literal.Append("\"");
        foreach (var c in input)
        {
            switch (c)
            {
                case '\'': literal.Append(@"\'"); break;
                case '\"': literal.Append("\\\""); break;
                case '\\': literal.Append(@"\\"); break;
                case '\0': literal.Append(@"\0"); break;
                case '\a': literal.Append(@"\a"); break;
                case '\b': literal.Append(@"\b"); break;
                case '\f': literal.Append(@"\f"); break;
                case '\n': literal.Append(@"\n"); break;
                case '\r': literal.Append(@"\r"); break;
                case '\t': literal.Append(@"\t"); break;
                case '\v': literal.Append(@"\v"); break;
                default:
                    if (Char.GetUnicodeCategory(c) != UnicodeCategory.Control)
                    {
                        literal.Append(c);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        literal.Append(@"\u");
                        literal.Append(((ushort)c).ToString("x4"));
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }
        literal.Append("\"");
        return literal.ToString();
    }
}

很久以前，我发现了这个:

private static string ToLiteral(string input)
{
    using (var writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        using (var provider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp"))
        {
            provider.GenerateCodeFromExpression(new CodePrimitiveExpression(input), writer, null);
            return writer.ToString();
        }
    }
}

这段代码:

var input = "\tHello\r\n\tWorld!";
Console.WriteLine(input);
Console.WriteLine(ToLiteral(input));

生产:

    Hello
    World!
"\tHello\r\n\tWorld!"

最近，Graham发现你可以在NuGet上使用Roslyn的Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp包:

private static string ToLiteral(string valueTextForCompiler)
{
    return Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SymbolDisplay.FormatLiteral(valueTextForCompiler, false);
}
