Program.cs(13,28): error CS1056: Unexpected character `\0022'

I'm not sure why this error is being thrown. Can someone please advise?

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            int entry = Console.ReadLine();

            while (counter == entry)
            {
            var counter = 0;
            Console.Write(\"Yay!\");
            counter =+ 1;
            }
        }

Need to convert string to int. Also ("\"Yay!\"") output needs quotes on to begin and end.

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            string entry = Console.ReadLine();

            int totals = int.Parse(entry);
            int counters = 0;
            while(counters < totals)
            {
               Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
               counters += 1;
            }
        }
    }
}

            int counters = 0;
