How to write readable SQL in VB.NET

When writing Sql in VB.NET one often ends up with something quite unreadable due to VB's lack of multi-line strings.

For Example:

Dim sql As String = "SELECT t1.Name, t1.Description, t1.Address, t1.PhoneNumber, t2.RegistrationID, t2.Date, t2.Description, t2.RegistrationStatus FROM Users t1 JOIN Registrations t2 ON t1.UserID = t2.UserID WHERE t2.RegistrationID = @RegistrationID"

You could break the string up using line-continuation characters, but the extra quote marks and line-continuation characters make this harder to read. Also it makes transferring the query between code and SSMS difficult.

Is there a solution that makes SQL readable within VB and also allows easy transfer of queries (via copy/paste) between VB code and SSMS (or any other SQL editor/IDE)?
