replacing double \\ with single \

[rahul23]

  OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
                openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\\MSSQL";
                openFileDialog1.Filter = "Database files (*.mdf)|*.mdf";
                openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
                openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;

                if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {
                    string file = openFileDialog1.FileName.Replace("\\",@"\");
                    txtFileName.Text = file;

I am using this above code to replace double \\ with single \, but it's not working.
Any suggestion.

If \\ is an escape sequence, then to double up on \ in a string, you would need to escape it twice, \\\\

i am test your code and there is no a problem

there is a big problem, the data in textbox is ok, but just use a breakpoint on the textbox and on runtime you will file double \\ in the variable (string file).
I need that one to be chaged

Can you just put your code snippet for replacing double \\ with single \

rahul, that's probably just because it's showing the escape sequence. If the data shown in the textbox is fine, then it should be fine.
