Yes - it's embedding the carriage returns

Hello thelist,

  I've used @ for escaping e.g string str1 = @"C:\folder\file.txt";
  to convert it to C:\\folder\\file.txt

  I've notice a few SQL examples like:

            // query 1
            string sql1 = @"
            select
               *
            from
               customers
         ";

I'm puzzled by the use of @. Is it doing anything?
