c# - Remove file type from string -

this question has answer here:

i'm calling list of strings server.

at moment i'm getting full name , file extension like:

image1.jpg

image2.png

test_folder.folder

i have code relies on knowing extension is, need access name of item i've selected out extension.

so far 2 attempts have been following:

_clickedfolder = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring() - "folder"; _clickedfolder.trim(new char[] { '.folder' });

but neither of these work.

what correct way take file extension away , have file name display?

use path class:

string fnwithoutextension = path.getfilenamewithoutextension(path);

string extension = path.getextension(path);
