  • Why display image? When do you use it? – Imran Sh Sep 10 '16 at 11:50

    The problem is not the double backslashes, that's the inspector escaping strings for you. The problem is using absolute file paths on a web page, that's not going to work. – CodeCaster Sep 10 '16 at 13:28

You need to show images in asp.net Razor view like this:

<img src="~/images/Image1.jpg" />

And there is no need to use disk location (Server.MapPath() will return disk location of a specific path and is very dangerous)

UPDATE:

This is a useful link from Asp.net site about how to use images:
