    You can use something like this

    Dim getmemyfile As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName("d:\my documents\myfile.txt")

    or

    Dim getmemyfile As IO.FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("d:\my documents\myfile.txt")

    TextBox1.Text = getmemyfile.Name

    perfect sample, that's what I was looking for.

    I use it in my project like this:

    Dim myFile As String

    If OpenFileAttach.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

    myFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName(OpenFileAttach.FileName.ToString)

    Me.StatusLabel.Text = "Open file: " & myFile

    End If
