Return FileName Only when using OpenFileDialog

I am using the following method to browse for a file:

    OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
    PictureNameTextEdit.Text = OpenFileDialog.FileName

Is there a way get ONLY the file name?

The FileName method returns the entire path and file name.

i.e. I want Foo.txt instead of C:\SomeDirectory\Foo.txt

if you want just the selected name without Extension you can try this code

Imports System.IO


PictureNameTextEdit.Text = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(OpenFileDialog1.Fi‌​leName)

Use this code to put the filename in PictureNameTextEdit:

OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
PictureNameTextEdit.Text = OpenFileDialog.SafeFileName

Use SafeFileName instead of FileName and it will return a name (and extension) without path.

Use Path.GetFileName(fullPath) to get just the filename part, like this:

OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
PictureNameTextEdit.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(OpenFileDialog.FileName)

Suppose that I did select word2010 file named as "MyFileName.docx"

This is for ONLY the selected file extension "including the dot mark, f.e (.docx)"

MsgBox(System.IO.Path.GetExtension(Opendlg.FileName))

And this for the selected File name without extension: (MyFileName)

MsgBox(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Opendlg.FileName))

and you can try the other options for the "PATH Class" like: GetFullPath,GetDirectoryName ...and so on.

System.IO.File.Copy(OFD.FileName, Application.StartupPath +
