I'd like to retrieve a list of files in a directory, but I don't want the
full path included in the name (i.e. I want "myfile.dat" instead of
"d:\foo\myfile.dat"). Directory.GetFiles returns the full path of all the
files in the directory. Is there a way around this problem?
 
You could create a FileInfo object with each file returned, and then
acecss the "Name" property on the FileInfo object.

Try the System.IO.Path.GetFileName() function. You might also want to check
out the other methods of this class.

string [] fullfiles = Directory.GetFile(@"c:\")
string [] files = new string[fullfiles.Length];
for(int i=0; i<fullfiles.Length; i++)
files = Path-GetFileName(fullfiles);

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo( @"C:\temp");

foreach (FileInfo file in dir.GetFiles()) {
Console.WriteLine( file.Name);
