How to escape curly braces in format strings in .NET (C#)
Hi everyone! I just started learning C# and ran into a problem when working with the `String.Format` method (or string interpolation). I need to output text containing curly braces, for example, to generate a JSON string or an HTML template.
The problem is that when I write code like this:
```csharp
string result = String.Format("Value: {0} and {1}", "A", "B");
Console.WriteLine(result); // Outputs: Value: A and B
```
Everything works. But if I want to output the curly braces themselves, for example, as part of the string "Value: {0} and {1}", the compiler or runtime treats them as placeholders for argument substitution. I tried using double braces, but it doesn't help — a FormatException is thrown.
Here's an example of my code that doesn't work:
```csharp
