How to get filename?

[Pluto]

Hi,

I can have code like:
Application.Exe cutablePath
to return something like "c:\blah\myapp. exe"

I only want "c:\blah\my app" (or even just "myapp") to return, is there some
other code I can use? Otherwise, I'll have to trim the ".exe".

In the end I want to build a string like "c:\blah\myapp. config".

Thanks.

Path.GetFileNam eWithoutExtensi on

or even

Path.ChangeExte nsion

(they do your work for you!)

I must say C# and the available functionality in the .NET framework amazes
me time and time again. I don't know how any of these very
detaillistic/specific issues I've seen being solved by STANDARD solutions!

May I cheer out loud and be happy to embarked on the this C# ship !?

Indeed, the .NET Framework is almost perfect. A great mix of simplicity and
power.
