Why the apostophy ( ' ) cannot be used when coding in .NET?

There's a saying that you cannot use the apostophy or the ' symbol when coding in .NET is it so? Is there a workaround for this? Please explaing in syntax.

What do you mean it cannot be used when coding .NET? what language are you referring? C#? VB.NET? Your question is vague.

You can use apostrophes and other special characters in both C# & VB.NET as long as you escape them.

There's nothing wrong with using the ' except in VB.net: ' is the comment tag, for writing comments.
