String.Replace 2

[esdee]

i have an OpenFileDialog dlg and i
get a selected filename with
string s1 = dlg.FileNames[0];
then i need to replace \ with /
s1.Replace('\\', '/');

but it doesn't work !

how should i code this ?

thanx

It should work,
s1 = s1.Replace('\\', '/');

cappmgr is right but I want to give you a solution to deal with the directory char separator:
s1 = s1.Replace(System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar,System.IO.Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar);

thank you, guys
somehow
str1 = str2.replace() doesn't work
while str2 = str2.replace() works

strange

i dont need the functionality of
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
for now, but thanx for the tip anyway

esdee -
You might want to rethink your decision not to use the system constants for this.

Unless this is throwaway code?

it just suits my current needs - i have to pass a string to mysql and it whats the path to be with '/'s instead of '\'s

OK, don't say we didn't warn you.
