[Solved] Changing 1 Character in a label

Changing 1 Character in a label

God i cannot remember how to do this its been a while now
Im trying to change Characters in a label

for example

Code:

Public Sub myshitcode()
    If label1.Text.Contains("/") Then
    
     label1.Text.Replace("/","\")
    
    End If

End Sub

i dont understand why thats not replacing the Character lol
i have even tried this

Code:

Public Sub myshitcode()
   Dim a As Char =  "/"
   Dim b As Char =  "\"
   label1.Text.Replace(a,b)  
End Sub

neither way works
I have done this in the past I just cant Remember how nor find any of my Snippets.

So can someone please help that would be great

.Replace() does not change the object (string), but returns one modified...

label1.text = label1.text.replace....

In other, words

Code:

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("A", "B")
