title: What is the syntax for initializing a string with a block of text in .NET?
body: <p>I'm writing a unit test and can't remember the syntax for initializing a string with a large block of formatted text. </p>
  
  <pre><code>string _testData = "a couple screens worth of text data here
  and I need to preserve the formatting
  such as line breaks,
  etc.";
  </code></pre>
