Get a folder name from a path

I have some path c:\server\folderName1\another 开发者_运维百科name\something\another folder\ .

How i can extract from there the last folder name ?

I have tried several things but they didn't work.

I just don't want to search for the last \ and then to take the rest .

Thanks.

string a = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"c:\server\folderName1\another name\something\another folder\").Name;

DirectoryInfo.Name works:

using System;
using System.IO;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\users\\jon\\test\\");
        Console.WriteLine(info.Name); // Prints test
    }                                                
}

Check out DirectoryInfo.Name.

Also possible using System.IO.Path:

string s = Path.GetFileName(Path.GetDirectoryName(@"c:\server\folderName1\another name\something\another folder\"));

use this one line System.Linq command:

foldername.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar).Reverse().ToArray()[0]
