C# String Replace using Slashes

Question

_{Wednesday, December 28, 2011 2:35 PM}

using C#.net 2010

trying this but not working, trying to replace the single backslashes with double backslashes, does anyone know how to fix this?

I guess that double backslash "\" is the escape sequence for a single backslash, but I just tried "\\" for the param on the right  which I think should be 2 backslashes but that does not work either.

thx

MyFullPath =MyFullPath.Replace("\", "\\");

you know what I think I got it, should be:

MyFullPath =MyFullPath.Replace("\\", "\\\\");

Try this:

MyFullPath =MyFullPath.Replace(@"\", @"\\");

The @ symbol means escape sequences won't be processed, read more about c# @ here
