try this... just make an adjustment based on your variables.

string Filename = CompletePath.Substring(CompletePath.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);

now, if your data is stored in a datatable, either you modify the datatable, add a column, and fill that column with the extracted filename before binding to a list, or handle the binding's rowdatabound event to handle the extraction of filename.
