How do I get the filename of my launched file without extension / directory?

How do I find the current name of my launched vb.net project without listing the directory or extension?

I've searched for other solutions, but all of them either has the extension at the end, and/or the directory location at the start, I just want the plain file name, no extension, no directory.

Example:

    Dim Filename as string = (code that finds the file name)
    MsgBox(Filename)

Which would output Test as for this example the program was named Test.exe

I tried this:

Public Class FOL

Dim MyFileName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Application.ExecutablePath)

Private Sub FOL_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    If MyFileName.Equals("fol") Then
        Updater.Show()
    End If 
End Sub
End Class

This example opens defined form "Updater" before loads main form.

Have you tried to look at this one?

Dim PathofYourFile As String = "c:\MyDirectory\MYFile.txt"
Dim FileName As String = IO.Path.GetExtension(PathofYourFile)
MsgBox(FileName)

If this is a WinForms app:

Dim fileName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Application.ExecutablePath)
