Handling escape characters in JSON response in C#

Question

I have a rather simple issue that for some reason I can find a help for using SO and Google. I am receiving a JSON reply that looks like this:

\"{
\\\"data\\\":

You're trying to escape the \ character twice using regular escaping ("\\") and verbatim strings (@"string"). Try

sContent = Regex.Replace(sContent, @"\", "");
