I can get the filename without extension and path by using

C#

Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename);

But I want whole path without extension.

I want the following output as string

C#

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\MyFileName

I want this to happen without extension.

Easiest way?

C#

string path = @"D:\Temp\MyFile.txt";
string fullPathWithoutExtension = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf('.'));

File name may contain multiple . so the above mentioned code is not safe at all the scenario.

Try below code.

C#

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(@"C:\XMLFile1.txt");
Console.WriteLine(fi.DirectoryName +@"\" +fi.Name.Replace(fi.Extension,""));
Console.Read();
