Load filenames without extension to CheckedListBox

I have a checkedListBox; wich loads files inside a folder; to run/open when checked.

What I'm trying to achieve is to:
- Load filenames without extension into the CheckedListBox.

I can retrieve:

"C:\Folder1\anotherfolder\myfile1.txt"

but; i just want to be retrieve: the "filename" (with or without the extention).

Something Like: 

"myfile1.txt"

I was attempting to do this with folderBrowserDialog, but I have no idea on how to accomplish this.

My Current Code:

//...
    private string openFileName, folderName;
    private bool fileOpened = false;
//...

        OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
        FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();

        if (!fileOpened)
        {
            ofd.InitialDirectory = fbd.SelectedPath;
            ofd.FileName = null;


            fbd.Description = "Please select your *.txt folder";
            fbd.RootFolder = System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
            if (fbd.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
            {
                string foldername = fbd.SelectedPath;
                foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(foldername))
                checkedListBox1.Items.Add(f);
            }

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

You don't need an OpenFileDialog at all, simply change the line that adds the files to 

checkedListBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(f));

Just remember to add 

using System.IO;

And you can also reduce everything to one line code

checkedListBox1.Items.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(fbd.SelectedPath).Select(x => Path.GetFileName(x)).ToArray());
