Use the static Path.GetFileName method in System.IO:

Path.GetFileName(@"C:\Users\Elias\Desktop\image.png"); // --> image.png

regarding your example:

textBox2.Text = Path.GetFileName(textBox1.Text);

System.IO.FileInfo class can help with parsing that information:

textBox2.Text = new FileInfo(textBox1.Text).Name;

MSDN documentation on the FileInfo class: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.fileinfo(v=vs.110).aspx
