hello,

i find that if i use the OpenFileDialog1.fileName, i get the fullpath + the name of the file selected by the user.

how to get only the filename and its extension but without the path to the file?

Thank you.

Take a look on the MSDN for System.IO.Path namespace.
It has a lot of methods for .GetFileName() .GetFileNameWithoutExtension() and so on.
