Show the Items in the Folder location and not the full directory

I have an array with of folders in a Directory.
I want them displayed in the combo-box but I don't the full directory to display, I just want the folder names in the directory.
I haven't been successful with what I have tried
MY CODE
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetDirectories(#"\\Mgsops\data\B&C_Poker_Builds\Release_Location\Integration\SDL\SP\Prima\");
ProjectDir.DataSource = filePaths;
ProjectDir.SelectedItem.ToString();
MY RESULT

Look at the DirectoryInfo class - you can do something like this:
string folder = new DirectoryInfo(path).Name;
To get an array (using System.Linq), you could do the following:
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetDirectories("<yourpath>").Select(d => new DirectoryInfo(d).Name).ToArray();
Or, even use the DirectoryInfo class to enumerate your directories:
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo("<yourpath>");
string[] filePaths = dir.GetDirectories().Select(d => d.Name).ToArray();

How do I store only the folder names as an array and not the while path (C#)

So I know how to store the full path but not just the end folder names, for example I've already got an array but is there any method to remove certain characters from all arrays or just get folder names from a path?
Edit: string[] allFolders = Directory.GetDirectories(directory);
That's what I use to get all folder names but that gets me the whole path
Edit:They need to be stored in an Array
Edit: sorry , I need an array with values such as "mpbeach","blabla","keyboard" and not E:\Zmod\idk\DLC List Generator\DLC List Generator by Frazzlee\ , so basically not the full path

This works.
string[] allFolders = Directory.EnumerateDirectories(directory)
.Select(d => new DirectoryInfo(d).Name).ToArray();
This also works. Difference is we are using List<string> instead of string[]
List<string> allFolders = Directory.EnumerateDirectories(directory)
.Select(d => new DirectoryInfo(d).Name).ToList();
Example 1: Uses string[] allFolders
Test Folder
In VS IDE, in Debug Mode
Example 2: Uses List<string> allFolders
Test Folder
In VS IDE, in Debug Mode
Example 2: Uses string[] allFolders

No need for string operations... Just use DirectoryInfo class
var allFolders = new DirectoryInfo(directory).GetDirectories()
.Select(x => x.Name)
.ToArray();

NOTE I'm taking your question to mean how to extract the last folder name from a file URL. Others are reading this as how to extract the names of folders in a directory. If I'm wrong, it's because I'm misinterpreting your question.
Split by backslash to get folders. The next-to-last value is the last folder:
string folder = #"c:\mydrive\testfolder\hello.txt";
string[] parts = folder.Split('\\');
string lastFolder = parts[parts.Length - 1];
//Yields "testfolder";
Moving that forward to what you want:
private string[] foldersOnly(){
List<string> folders = new List<string>();
string[] allFolders = Directory.GetDirectories(directory);
foreach(string folder in allfolders){
string[] parts = folder.Split('\\');
folders.Add(parts[parts.Length-1]);
}
}
return folders.ToArray();

Directory and subdirectory Filter in Linq

I need to list all directories from a path. I need to get only last subdirectory path and not all paths.
i.e. for
pathbase/2016/01
I don't need pathbase/2016 but pathbase/2016/01
Now I'm using this code:
List<string> dirs = new List<string>(Directory.EnumerateDirectories(pathBase));
string[] entries = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(pathBase, "*",
SearchOption.AllDirectories);
var listDir = from dir
in entries
return listDir.ToList();
What type of filter can i use in Linq to exclude this directory?
Thanks.

Do you mean you need all leafs directories (directories that don't have subdirectories)?
If so this should do it
// First off, don't use GetDirectories on the static Directory class, it returns a string path and not a DirectoryInfo which isn't very usefull here, instead create a DirectoryInfo and go from there:
var RootDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(pathBase);
// Then queries all of it's subdirectories and filter on those
var listDir = RootDirectory.GetDirectories("*",SearchOption.AllDirectories)
.Where(dir=>!dir.GetDirectories().Any())
.ToList();

how to compare filenames, then classify uniquely from folder into ListBox if repeated

I have json files that i'm trying to classify so the file names are as such:
inputTestingSetting_test
inputTestingSetting_test1310
inputTestingSetting_test1310_ckf
inputTestingSetting_test1310_ols
inputTestingSetting_test1310_sum
inputTestingSetting_test1311_ckf
inputTestingSetting_test1311_ols
inputTestingSetting_test1311_sum
So the output that i want in the ListBox lbJsonFileNames will be
test
test1310
test1311
currently my codes are
DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(tbJSFolder.Text);
FileInfo[] Files = dInfo.GetFiles("*.json");
List<jSonName> jsonName = new List<jSonName>();
foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
{
string filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.Name);
string[] fileNameSplit = filename.Split('_');
jsonName = new List<jSonName>{
new jSonName(fileNameSplit[0],fileNameSplit[1])
};
for(int i=0;i<jsonName.Count;i++)
{
if(jsonName[i].TestNumber == fileNameSplit[1])
{
lbJsonFileNames.Items.Add(jsonName[i].TestNumber);
}
}
}
so my output for lbJsonFileNames is what i want, however it is repeated. is it possible to just show one? i've tried to put jsonName[i].TestNumber to jsonName[i+1].TestNumber. but failed as it is out of range.
is there a way to read the file names, and then compare it with the previous file name to see if it is the same? and if it is the same, ignore, move on to the next file name, if it's different then it is added into the ListBox
changed my codes to
DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(tbJSFolder.Text);
FileInfo[] Files = dInfo.GetFiles("*.json");
List<jSonName> jsonName = new List<jSonName>();
HashSet<string> fileNames = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
{
string filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.Name);
string[] fileNameSplit = filename.Split('_');
fileNames.Add(fileNameSplit[1]);
}
foreach(var value in fileNames)
{
lbJsonFileNames.Items.Add(value);
}
got what i want now thanks all~

Your code basically says to put the following into list box:
test
test1310
test1310
test1310
test1310
test1311
test1311
test1311
Before you add as in lbJsonFileNames.Items.Add(jsonName[i].TestNumber);, check for duplicate first. Maybe you can put that list into a Set variable. Set will automatically remove the duplicate. Then put the Set back to lbJsonFileNames.
[Edit] Sorry there is no Set in dot net. Please use HashSet instead.[/Edit]

Your code did not mention what jSonName class is like and the constructor parameters stand for. However to get your output from your input can be much easier:
string[] all = Directory.GetFiles(tbJSFolder.Text, "*.json")
.Select(x => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(x))
.Select(x => x.Split(new char[] { '_' })[1])
.Distinct().ToArray();
lbJsonFileNames.Items.AddRange(all);

How to get the folder names present in the directory

I have a directory which is present at #"F:\\Unzip\\" .This directory will contain a folder.Now as per my requirement i want to move the folder inside it to some other directory but i am not able to get it.Here is the code that i tried to read the folder name present in the directory but it is reading the file present in the folder.
if (Directory.Exists(#"F:\\Unzip\\") == true)
{
//Get the file name
List<String> files = Directory.GetFiles(#"F:\Unzip\", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToList();
string strr=files[0].ToString();
}
Please help me to move the folder present inside the directory.Thanks

You can try like this:
List<string> lst = new List<string>();
DirectoryInfo[] dir = new DirectoryInfo(#"C:\SomePath").GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach(DirectoryInfo d in dir)
{
lst.Add(d.Name);
}
This will give you the list of all the folders in your directory.

Use this to get the names of subdirectories in the directory specified by "yourpath". The result is an array of strings.
Directory.GetDirectories("yourpath");
Easy as this:
string[] folders = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(#"F:\Unzip\","*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c1sez4sc.aspx

Directory.GetDirectories(#"F:\Unzip") will yield a string[] of full paths to each directory in F:\Unzip

read all directories without foreach loop using lambda
List<string> lst = new List<string>();
var allDir = new DirectoryInfo(#"D:\Github").GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Select(x=>x.Name).ToList();
lst = allDir;
