C# FolderBrowserDialog: Getting only the selected folder's name

Question

As the title states I need to get the last folder in the string my open folder dialog creates when a user selects a folder. For instance:

String folder;
FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
fbd.RootFolder = System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
if (fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    folder = fbd.SelectedPath;
}

I want to trim everything before the last "\" to leave me with the selected folder's name. Thank you for any help

You can use Path.GetFileName for this:

folder = Path.GetFileName(fbd.SelectedPath);

This might seem counter-intuitive, but Path.GetFileName() returns all the text to the right of the final path separator.
