In C# When is the right time to use Apostrophe Quotation marks

I would like to know why some things have to be within a pair of Apostrophes and others within Quotation marks? 

void trythis(){

char myChar = 'Stuff';
String myString = "Blah";
int myInteger = '22'; 
Serial.print(myChar );
Serial.print(myString );
Serial.print(myInteger );

}

Character literals use a single quote. So when you're dealing with char, that's 'x'.

String literals use double quotes. So when you're dealing with string, that's "x".

A char is a single UTF-16 code unit - in most cases "a single character". A string is a sequence of UTF-16 code units, i.e. "a piece of text" of (nearly) arbitrary length.

Your final example, after making it compile, would look something like:

int myInteger = 'x';

That's using a character literal, but then implicitly converting it to int - equivalent to:

char tmp = 'x';
int myInteger = tmp;
