Heres my code.

C#

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.SendTo));

Foreach(fileinfo fi in di.getfiles())
{
ToolstripCombobox1.items.add(fi.name);
}

Thats it. As the title indicates, i want to add all the files in that folder to the combobox, but without the file extension.

Thanks.

Solution 3

IT might help you,

C#

private void PopulateToolStripComboBox()
{
    DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.SendTo));
    toolStripComboBox1.Items.AddRange(di.GetFiles().Select(file => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.Name)).ToArray());
}

For further ref,

List<t>.AddRange[^]
How does it work in C#? - Part 3 (C# Linq in detail)[^]

Hope it helps :)

Easy:

C#

string name = fi.Name;
name = name.Substring(0, name.Length - fi.Extension.Length);

This is not a good solution, it is recommended that you use the Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension
