DO NOT SHOUT when asking a question. When you use all capital letters it is seen as shouting on the Internet and considered rude. Next time when posting a question please use proper capitalization.

Solution 1

You can use the Path class[^] for this.

Use the GetFullPath Method[^] to retrieve the path and GetFileName Method[^] for the file name.
Both links to the methods contain examples you can use.
