I have the following string, which I want to execute as a process:

Rundll32 Printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /K /q /m "SHARP MX-5500N PS" /h "Windows NT x86" /v 3 /f sn0hwenu.inf

However, given the presence of quotation marks, I can't insert this string in C# to make it compile, keeping all of the original structure. How should I fix this? It's a little tricky as there are quotation marks within the string.

string whatever = "Rundll32 Printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /K /q /m \"SHARP MX-5500N PS\" /h \"Windows NT x86\" /v 3 /f sn0hwenu.inf";

or

string whatever = @"Rundll32 Printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /K /q /m ""SHARP MX-5500N PS"" /h ""Windows NT x86"" /v 3 /f sn0hwenu.inf";
