String.Replace() in .net 1.1 did not work!

Hi, guys,

The following source code in Page_Load() did not work:

string pathVal = "2006\";
pathVal.Replace("\\", "/");

I still had the value "2006\", not "2006/", the one I expected.

I then tried the second line as:

pathVal.Replace('\', '/');

still no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks.Replace probably returns a new string that you need to set a variable to.

You need to get the value value returned by Replace function. It returns
stirng variable.

String.Replace() returns a new String value. You can always set the
returned value to the original string.
