In ASP.NET MVC 5 Server.MapPath() returning path with double backslashes

Question

In ASP.NET MVC 5, Server.MapPath() returning path with double backslashes and image file adding to my physical project "~/Images/" folder.But it is not displaying in my solution explorer even after refresh.I have tried Replace() "\" with "/" but it doesn't works. unable to display images now.

My Images Folder path:"~/Images" Image Path in Database saving as : "D:\\ProjectName\\SolutionFolder\\Images\\Image1.jpg"

Please help me out of this...

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:
