Escape character problem

[shuvo]

I have file urls stored in a database field. Urls are like this:

"\\Images\Sunset.jpg"

Where I retrieve it and store in tha string variable it becomes
"\\\\Images\\Sunset.jpg";

@ character can be used with strings like strval=@"\\Images";
But how do I use it with string variables or Database values? Other than using Replace("\\","\"), can anyone suggest a better solution?
