c# - How can I get the last folder from a path string? -

i have directory looks this:

c:\users\me\projects\

in application, append path given project name:

c:\users\me\projects\myproject

after, want able pass method. inside method use project name. best way parse path string last folder name?

i know work-around pass path , project name function, hoping limit 1 parameter.

you can do:

string dirname = new directoryinfo(@"c:\users\me\projects\myproject\").name;

or use path.getfilename (with bit of hack):

string dirname2 = path.getfilename(               @"c:\users\me\projects\myproject".trimend(path.directoryseparatorchar));

path.getfilename returns file name path, if path terminating \ return empty string, why have used trimend(path.directoryseparatorchar)
