Error about too many characters in char literal

[aewarnick]

char[]c = new char[]{'/', '\'};
Too many characters in character literal. What is wrong! This is frustrating!

Microsoft could probably have thought of a better error message.
That problem was the single backslash \ - escape character. To indicate a backslash you need \\.

It's hardly Microsoft's fault you failed to remember that C# has escape characters in strings
