Too many characters in character literal - Asp .Net with JavaScript

When you try to build a javascript string in asp .net you might bump into this error. The common cause of this not escaping the characters that need to be escaped.

For example
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(@"<a href="JavaScript:Method('var');">Call method</a>");

When using Vervatim you still need to escape the double quotes using another double quote not with a backslash(\).

This should be the proper way of doing it.

sb.Append(@"<a href=""JavaScript:Method('var');"">Call method</a>");

There could be other case scenarios.

The Most of the time users are facing the above mentioned exception when ever they are uploading data or some images into data base.Thanks for sharing information.
