In C# you should prefix this kind of string with the char @

string db_adres = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='J:\test.mdb'";

or double the \ character

string db_adres = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='J:\\test.mdb'";

The first one is called 'verbatim string', the second one is an 'escaped string'
Look here at C# specifications 2.4.4.5 "String Literals"
