How can I replace the “\” in a string with a double slash “\\”?

I tried String.Replace(“\”,”\\”) but then intellisense stops working 🙁

Thanks!

    Try:

    String.Replace("\\","\\\\")
    

    This is because a character can follow \, which makes a special character. \” means put a literal double quote in the string, rather than close it.

    Here are some common ones:
    \n – Line feed
    \r – Carriage return (Windows newlines are \r\n)
    \t – Tab

    The other answers, which say to use @"\" are right and easier to understand, so should probably be used instead.
