openFileDialog problem

[CodeItWell]

I have one openFileDialog1. How to get the name of the selected file. But not the all path. Exp:"C:\NewFolder\TextFile.txt". Just "TextFile.txt"

You can use a Path object from the Sytem.IO namespace.

string fileName = Path.GetFileName(OpenFileDialog1.FileName);

Path.GetFileName[^] FileDialog.FileName[^]

hi, use Substring and LastIndexOf functions to get the required value; any string supports these methods. regards.

That's, most certainly, doing it the hard way and in some cases unreliably.

That should never be done. Prone to too many errors.
