You can use System IO Path GetFileName to do this   E g    string   files   Directory GetFiles dir   foreach string file in files      Console WriteLine Path GetFileName file      While you could use FileInfo  it is much more heavyweight than the approach you are already using  just retrieving file paths   So I would suggest you stick with GetFiles unless you need the additional functionality of the FileInfo class
