Replacing all the '\' chars to '/' with C#

How can I replace all the '\' chars in a string into '/' with C#? For example, I need to make @"c:/abc/def" from @"c:\abc\def".

string first = @"c:/abc/def";
string sec = first.Replace("/","\\");

The Replace function seems suitable:

string input = @"c:\abc\def";
string result = input.Replace(@"\", "/");

And be careful with a common gotcha:

Due to string immutability in .NET this function doesn't modify the string instance you are invoking it on => it returns the result.

You need to escape the \

mystring.Replace("\\", "/");
