What does @"string" means? Hey there!
I am new to this community, and fairly new to C# programming. This is probably a newbie
question, but I couldn't find anything in my books on it.

I encountered combination of symbols in my book.
Here is the code snippet:
Regex re = new Regex(@"(some regexp here)");

What does @"..." means? It's highlighted as whole in VS.NET, but I can't find
any reference to the meaning of this construct. In the book it is used several times
not only with Regex() but with Image.FromFile(@".\someImg.jpg") and several other
functions.

I understand that this is somehow related to string, but what does it mean?
