So, below you can see the data we pull from the field in the database, and
what I need it to look like. Can anyone help me out with the code to do
this?

From database:

q:\quotewerks\images\contact systems\contac3s.jpg
q:\quotewerks\images\fuji\cp6-5 cal\mvc-012f(2).jpg
q:\quotewerks\images\front emerald.jpg

Needs to be changed to:

~/images/contact systems/contac3s.jpg
~/images/fuji/cp6-5 cal/mvc-012f(2).jpg
~/images/front emerald.jpg

Any help would be great, thanks!

I got the solution by storing the virual path in the database and saving the image using physical path.
.
.
So when I need to display the Image in the Gridview, I display it using the virtual path in the database.
.
.
Physical path :

string strPath = Server.MapPath("~/images/");
                fileupload1.saveAs(strPath);

And I store in the database just :

string strVirPath = "~/images/"+fileupload1.FileName;

.
.
Thanks All for your Answers.

Happy Coding!!!

I think for the purpose specified in the question the Replace method of string class can be used as below

C#

string pPath = @"q:\quotewerks\images\fuji\cp6-5 cal\mvc-012f(2).jpg";
string vPath = pPath.Replace(@"q:\quotewerks","~").Replace(@"\","/");
//vPath ->  ~/images/fuji/cp6-5 cal/mvc-012f(2).jpg
