File extension, file name, file directory in C#?

How to get file extension, file name, file directory in C# (csharp) based on a file location?

The trick and the easiest way in C# is to use the System.IO.Path class. You can simple use this code:

string fileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileLocation);

In order to find the file name use this code:

string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileLocation);

In order to get a file directory use this code:

string dirName = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(fileLocation);

In order to change the file extension to .jpeg use this snippet:

string dest = System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(fileLocation, ".jpeg");

Also the following functions from System.IO.Path are also useful:

* GetPathRoot()
* IsPathRooted()
* GetFileNameWithoutExtension()
