I am currently doing one program which displays in datagrid name of the file you choose but I used this way:

dataGridView1.Rows.Insert(0, "Screenshoot 1", "Uploading", Convert.ToString(imageFileDialog.FileName));

And this gives complete path example: C:\User\Imagename.png

How to make to it will only give Imagename.png nothing else?

Thanks for your answers!

you already got some expert advice but you can also use RegularExpressions (using Regex) for that

string filename = Regex.Match(imageFileDialog.FileName, @"[^\\]*$").Value;
Convert.ToString(filename);

when you implement it on your code
C:\User\Imagename.png l will be Imagename.png
