Answer 2

Are you sure it is not "Newline IN constant" ?

If so, are you sure the code is formatted exactly as it is displayed here? (i.e. there are no line breaks?)

Answer 3

I know this question is old, but the "accepted answer" isn't an answer at all, and I just found this while trying to find a solution for my own minor issue.

I was suddenly getting similar errors to these ("Newline in constant" and "; expected") pointing to some serverside code on a few aspx pages. That code had not been modified for a while and there was never an issue before, so it was quite strange. I'm using VS2012 with TFS2012, and I was seeing the errors when I tried to get the latest version on all items in a particular folder.

To solve the problem, I just had to scroll past those errors to find an unrelated error on a completely different aspx.cs page, where I hadn't closed an if statement that I was working on. Fixing this made the other errors disappear. Looking back, I should have found a solution much more easily, but it was still very strange considering the fact that I don't think there's any issue with those other pages.
