Set file with no .extension

I'm using the following code to trim the file extensions of some items . It latter pulls off a database. It seems database is not pulling the ".". In short I want file.ext to be turned to file but the closest Ive gotten is file "." which isn't working for me

string linkWithoutExtension = System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(path, "");

Thanks for any help.

Edit Ok I changed it to the following but now its giving me an even weirder problem. Its renaming the path. So instead of it being (site.com/type/subtype/type1/video/videoname.) like I got before I now get (site.com/type/subtype/elsewhere/nothere/videoname).

开发者_运维问答string linkWithoutExtension = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path);

There's a Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension method so

string path = @"C:\Users\UN\Documents\message.msg";
string linkWithoutExtension = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path);

As Pointed out by peter i forgot about the original directory so you can use Path.Combine and Path.GetDirectoryName(path) as shown in peters answer

using System.IO;

string linkWithoutExtension = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(path), Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path));
