Actually, String.Replace works just fine.

Try:
pathVal = pathVal.Replace("\\", "/")

In addition, I believe that the first line needs to be either:

string pathVal = "2006\\";

//or:

string pathVal = @"2006\";

It worked in that it did what it should have done (nothing) - it just
didn't do what you expected.

Strings are immutable. Calling Replace doesn't change the current
string, it just returns a new one.

strings.

String.Replace returns (a reference to) a _new_ instance containing the new
value. It does not change the value of the current instance, because it
cannot -- strings are immutable (a string's value cannot be changed). Here
is how to achieve what you're attempting:

string pathVal = "2006\";
