It's called a Verbatim String (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa691090.aspx).
It is a different way to write strings in C#, allowing you to ignore the
\'s in a string. It does require one to double up "s in a string so that
they are properly escaped (just like in VB.NET).

Depending on if you have more "s or more \'s in your string you can choose
between them.
