19.5 How can I get just the extension of a file from the complete path string?


Use FileInfo. Instantiate a FileInfo object with the full path as constructor arg. Then simply call FileInfo.Extension and you will get just the extension of the file.

FileInfo finfo = new FileInfo(strFileName);
Console.WriteLine(finfo.Extension);
