I am storing my image paths in a DB and am rendering them in

I am storing my image paths in a DB and am rendering them in a ListView.

<img src='<%# Eval("MainImagePath") %>' alt='<%# Eval("Title") %>' />

It’s not rendering because of backslashes. From the generated markup:

~\eventimages\23297700618245dcb46c7501574e3e94_placeholder2200x133.jpg

How can I use a string Replace method to generate this with forward slashes? I tried the answer here but couldn’t get it to work:

UPDATE

I tried:

<img src='<%# Eval("MainImagePath").ToString().Replace("\", "/") %>' 
    alt='<%# Eval("Title") %>' />

…but got error “CS1010: Newline in constant”

try double slash it.

<img src='<%# Eval("MainImagePath").ToString().Replace("\\", "/") %>' 
    alt='<%# Eval("Title") %>' />
