unnecessary_ string_ escapes
Unnecessary escape in string literal.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when characters in a string are escaped when escaping them is unnecessary.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because single quotes don't need to be escaped inside strings delimited by double quotes:
var s = "Don\'t use a backslash here.";
Common fixes
#Remove the unnecessary backslashes:
var s = "Don't use a backslash here.";
