OpenFileDialog: Save file name, but don't include path?

[Ciralia]

With an OpenFileDialog object, you can say:


Dim openFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog()
Dim fileName As String

fileName = openFileDialog.FileName()


This code gets the file name as a string but it also includes the path like: C:\Desktop\temp.txt. Is there a way to get the file name itself without the path, like temp.txt?

not directly but its not hard using the substring method

Dim fbrs As New OpenFileDialog
fbrs.ShowDialog()

Dim f As String = fbrs.FileName
Dim s As String = f.Substring(f.LastIndexOf("\"c) + 1)
MessageBox.Show(s)

You can use the FileInfo class:

Dim fbrs As New OpenFileDialog
fbrs.ShowDialog()

Dim f As New FileInfo(fbrs.FileName)

Dim fileName As String

fileName = f.Name
