Path.GetDirectoryName(fpath) c#

I am using Path.GetDirectoryName(fpath) to get me the full path of the file

but what I want to do is just grab the directory from a particular sub direcorty onwards

and also grab the last directory

se using the example below I currently get :

dpath = Path.GetDirectoryName(fpath);

gives me ...

"C:\\Users\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\MeasurLink7\\Mitutoyo.MeasurLink.RealTime"

but what I want is

1) from Projects onwards --

dpath1 = "\\MeasurLink7\\Mitutoyo.MeasurLink.RealTime"

2 the last directory

dpath2 = "\\Mitutoyo.MeasurLink.RealTime"

any help would be appreciated

eeeewwww.... Substring() calls : P

While the_o's solution is feasilbe, I think you would benefit from the readability from using something like FileInfo class:

FileInfo info = new FileInfo(path);
string dPath1 = info.FullName.Replace(info.Directory.Parent.FullName, string.Empty);
string dPath2 = info.FullName.Replace(info.Directory.FullName, string.Empty);
