This is because you need to escape the "\" and the quotes (") character in C#. There is no Encoding / Decoding to do. If you want to get rid of the confusing backslashes add a @ before your string

myStr = @"http://www.google.com"

Nevertheless, your string looks weird so you will need to get the text inside the quotes and then remove those weirdly placed "\" in the http:// part.
