The accepted answer is problematic for http urls  Moreover Uri LocalPath does Windows specific conversions  and as someone pointed out leaves query strings in there  A better way is to use Uri AbsolutePath  The correct way to do this for http urls is   Uri uri   new Uri hreflink   string filename   System IO Path GetFileName uri AbsolutePath

Uri IsFile doesn t work with http urls  It only works for  file      From MSDN    The IsFile property is true when the Scheme property equals UriSchemeFile   So you can t depend on that   Uri uri   new Uri hreflink   string filename   System IO Path GetFileName uri LocalPath

using System IO   private String GetFileName String hrefLink        return Path GetFileName hrefLink Replace                  THis assumes  of course  that you ve parsed out the file name   EDIT  2    using System IO   private String GetFileName String hrefLink        return Path GetFileName Uri UnescapeDataString hrefLink  Replace                  This should handle spaces and the like in the file name

I think this will do what you need   var uri   new Uri hreflink   var filename   uri Segments Last

You can just make a System Uri object  and use IsFile to verify it s a file  then Uri LocalPath to extract the filename   This is much safer  as it provides you a means to check the validity of the URI as well     Edit in response to comment   To get just the full filename  I d use   Uri uri   new Uri hreflink   if  uri IsFile        string filename   System IO Path GetFileName uri LocalPath       This does all of the error checking for you  and is platform-neutral   All of the special cases get handled for you quickly and easily

this is my sample you can use           public static string GetFileNameValidChar string fileName                foreach  var item in System IO Path GetInvalidFileNameChars                          fileName   fileName Replace item ToString                           return fileName             public static string GetFileNameFromUrl string url                string fileName               if  Uri TryCreate url  UriKind Absolute  out Uri uri                         fileName   GetFileNameValidChar Path GetFileName uri AbsolutePath                      string ext               if   string IsNullOrEmpty fileName                         ext   Path GetExtension fileName               if  string IsNullOrEmpty ext                   ext     html               else                 ext                   return GetFileNameValidChar fileName   ext                       fileName   Path GetFileName url           if  string IsNullOrEmpty fileName                         fileName    noName                     ext   Path GetExtension fileName           if  string IsNullOrEmpty ext               ext     html           else             ext               fileName   fileName   ext          if   fileName StartsWith                   fileName   fileName Split      FirstOrDefault            fileName   fileName Split   amp    LastOrDefault   Split      LastOrDefault            return GetFileNameValidChar fileName           Usage   var fileName   GetFileNameFromUrl  http   cdn p30download com  b p30dl-software amp f Mozilla Firefox v58 0 x86 p30download com zip
