Try This

    Dim str As String
    str = "C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\test1.dfq"

    str.Substring(str.LastIndexOf("\") + 1, str.Length - str.LastIndexOf("\") - 1)

Try this....
        Dim filepath As String = "C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\test1.dfq"
        Dim filename As String = filepath.Substring(filepath.LastIndexOf("\") + 1)

Hi,

try:

            string path = @"C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\test1.dfq";

            string file = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path);

            MessageBox.Show(file);

Hi,

sorry, in VB this would be

Dim path as String = "C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\test1.dfq"

Dim file as String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path)

System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path)
