I figured there s no way except going into the file system to find out if text txt is a directory or just a file  If you wanted something simple  maybe you can just use   s Substring s LastIndexOf

Based on previous answers  but fixed   using static System IO Path   var dir   GetFileName path  TrimEnd DirectorySeparatorChar  AltDirectorySeparatorChar      Explanation of GetFileName from  NET source      Returns the name and extension parts of the given path  The resulting   string contains the characters of path that follow the last   backslash        slash        or colon       character in    path  The resulting string is the entire path if path    contains no backslash after removing trailing slashes  slash  or colon characters  The resulting    string is null if path is null

Here is an alternative method that worked for me without having to create a DirectoryInfo object  The key point is that GetFileName   works when there is no trailing slash in the path   var name   Path GetFileName path TrimEnd Path DirectorySeparatorChar      Example   var list   Directory EnumerateDirectories path                Select p   gt  new                       id    id     p GetHashCode   ToString  x                text   Path GetFileName p TrimEnd Path DirectorySeparatorChar                icon    fa fa-folder               children   true                     Distinct            OrderBy p   gt  p text
