Were you trying it like this   string text   GetTextFromSomewhere    text Replace            text Replace                If so  that s the problem - Replace doesn t change the original string  it returns a new string with the replacement performed    so you d want   string text   GetTextFromSomewhere    text   text Replace           Replace              Note that this will replace each backslash and each double-quote character  if you only wanted to replace the pair  backslash followed by double-quote  you d just use   string text   GetTextFromSomewhere    text   text Replace                 As mentioned in the comments  this is because strings are immutable in  NET - once you ve got a string object somehow  that string will always have the same contents  You can assign a reference to a different string to a variable of course  but that s not actually changing the contents of the existing string

Where do these characters occur  Do you see them if you examine the XML data in  say  notepad  Or do you see them when examining the XML data in the debugger  If it is the latter  they are only escape characters for the   characters  and so part of the actual XML data
