....since curly braces already delimit format specifiers.
Say if I want to compose the following client-side javascript with a dynamic
value in it:
function IsThisAlright(value)
{
return value != dynamicnumber;
}
.... in which "dynamicnumber" is generated on the server side at runtime.
If I use the String.Format() to construct this script and inserting the
dynamic value, how do I escape the curly braces?
This is driving me nuts. I can't local this elementary bit of information
in the documentation!
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Tony, you can escape the { and } with a \.
So, you would use Console.WriteLine("This is a curly bracket \{"); to print
a left curly.
In your VS.NET IDE help you can find more info at:

Greg, that doesn't seem to work with String.Format or Console.WriteLine.
The help section you reference is for an XML Schema Regular Expression where
I think you can escape curly braces as you can with "regular" Regular
Expressions.

glenn, my bad, I wrote the code off the top of my head assuming it would
work for Format and WriteLine. Sorry about that. You're {{ }} solution
definitely works though.

Tony, I couldn't find it in the docs either (read it here about a week ago).
I think what you want is to use two braces wherever you need one. For
example, if your format string is:
"{{ <{0}> }}"
And you pass "hi" as the first parameter, it will come out as:
{ <hi> }
