Replace \\ with \ in a string ?

hey hi, i want to replace \\ with \ in a string.

i m doing this

       string str = "Shaitender\\MONU".Replace("\\",@"\");
       Response.Write(str);

But in Quick watch it still showing "Shaitender\\MONU". but on the page it's showing "Shaitender\MONU".

Quick Watch Output :

Html Ouptut

Shaitender\MONU

Why both output are different any idea? i did some searching on google but still unable to figure out concept of Escape Characters

the Problem is when im passing the string it contains \\ in it . Is there any other possible way to Replace it .
Tired Regex too but still not working .

Escape characters are still mystery for me :) !!!
