Answer 1

var name = new FileInfo(@"C:\Users\Microsoft\Pictures\2010-04-22\003.jpg").Name;

Answer 2

If you are working with files and paths, use FileInfo:

System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(@"C:\Users\Microsoft\Pictures\2010-04-22\003.jpg
");
string dir = f.DirectoryName;
string file = f.Name;

Or, as Marcelo Cantos says, you can use System.IO.Path. Using Reflector you can see that FileInfo.Directory name calls Path.GetDirectoryName(base.FullPath) so it's very much the same

Answer 3

Use the System.IO.Path class:

Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
Path.GetFileName(path);
