Replace '\' with '/' in a String C # WinForm Application

Question

Can someone suggest a way to replace the back-slash '\' with a slash '/' in a string. Basically a string is a path. I tried using the Replace () method for the string, but it doesn't work.

thanks

You will need to write the result Replace(the lines are immutable) and ensure that character escaping is used for \:

string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
path = path.Replace("\\", "/");

For information; most of the built-in methods will be accepted either, and if you are on Windows, it \will be more common anyway. If you want to get uri use Uri:

string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
Uri uri = new Uri(path); // displays as "file:///C:/Users/mgravell/AppData/Local/Temporary Projects/ConsoleApplication1/bin/Debug"
string abs = uri.AbsolutePath; // "C:/Users/mgravell/AppData/Local/Temporary%20Projects/ConsoleApplication1/bin/Debug"
