System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path);

FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(path);

// or
Console.WriteLine(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path));

Answer 4

Use this:

    FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(path);
    fileInfo.Name

Answer 5

You could also do a split on the string using "\" as a separator, then simply get the last item of the array. Could be a bit more useful if you don't use full file paths, especially if your working with partial paths on a different server (such as where a file might be stored "\images\blah.jpg")
