Retrieving the File Name of a .mp3 file without the path

Question

Reasoning:

I've seen this question duplicated a few times on this website, and each one seems to bring people to same conclusion.

Okay, so I have a music player located within a window. When the window opens, an OpenFileDialog method is ran, to where the user must pick a .mp3 file. Once done, they can play the file whilst navigating other windows in the program.

I'm trying to:

Enter the file name of the selected file into a label. With this, I want to show the file name as it is being played. I want to only show the file name, not the path to it as well.

What I've seen on duplicate questions:

Repeating fixes whereby I can use the following code to pick up the file name with or without the file extension:

label1.Content = Path.GetFileName(media.Source.ToString());

label1.Content = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(media.Source.ToString());

Issue:

I've tried to enter this on my program, but I don't have the "Path" section (I'm not too sure of the actual name of this part of code).

The closest I can get to this is: class System.Windows.Shapes.Path | Draws a series of connected lines and curves.

I don't seem to have another "path" in my VS, so I'm not too sure what to do.

            DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
            timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            timer.Start();
        }
    }
}

I would copy in the XAML too but I use blend animations and it's way too long for this question. If you need it, please let me know :)

That said, I think that's everything!

Thank you

Include the header System.IO in your application. (using System.IO;) .If it is not found you need to add the reference System dll.
