What is the ASCII number for the double quote? (")
Also, is there a link to a list anywhere?
Finally, how do you enter it in the C family (esp. C#)

The ASCII code for the quotation mark is 34.
(Well, strictly speaking it's not a real quotation mark but the inches mark that we commonly use as quotation mark. A real quotation mark is a typographical character that is not available in ASCII.)
There are plenty of ASCII tables on the web. Note that some describe the standard 7-bit ASCII code, while others describe various 8-bit extensions that are super-sets of ASCII.
To put quotation marks in a string, you escape it using a backslash:
string msg = "Let's just call it a \"duck\" and be done with it.";
To put a quotation mark in a character literal, you don't need to escape it:
char quotationMark = '"';
Note: Strings and characters in C# are not ASCII, they are Unicode. As Unicode is a superset of ASCII the codes are still usable though. You would need a Unicode character table to look up some characters, but an ASCII table works fine for the most common characters.
It's 34. And you can find a list on Wikipedia.
Try Google and you will get tons of ASCII tables.
here is another alternative:
you are never going to need only 1 quote, right? so I declare a CHAR variable i.e
char DoubleQuote;
then drop in a double quote
Convert.ToChar(34);
so use the variable DoubleQuote where you need it
works in SQL to generate dynamic SQL but there you need
DECLARE @SingleQuote CHAR(1)
and
SET @SingleQuote=CHAR(39)
yes, the answer the 34
In order to find the ascii value for special character and other alpha character I'm writing here small vbscript. In a note pad, write the below script save as abc.vbs(any name with extention .vbs) double click on the file to execute and you can see double quotes for 34.
For i=0 to 150
msgbox i&"="&char(i)
