No it isn't. Have you read it? System.IO.Path.GetFileName

So what? Both solutions will work. My point is that it can't be so hard to open up the MSDN (local or online), go to the string or IO members and look if there's a function that fits my needs. Nichts für ungut ;)

You're solution will work, so long as the path seperatation character is a backslash. This is not always the case and is not platform-independent. Using the correct method, pointed to by Mark, will work no matter what the platform or seperation character happens to be.

That's funny!! Looking it up on MSDN, or hitting F1 in Visual Studio, probably would have taken you 3 minutes to find the answer. How long did it take you to post the question on CP and wait for answer?
