I want to make a simple picture slideshow from the stated folder. The label show the full location detail of the image, how can the label show the picture name only?

int counter = 0;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Start(); //start the slideshow
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
counter++;
string path = @"C:\Users\Tan Wei Shen\Desktop\FYP\Animal";//directory of the picture
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg ");
if (counter > filePaths.Length - 1)
{
counter = 0; //reset the picture
}
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(filePaths[counter]); //show image
label1.Text = filePaths[counter]; //show name of the image
}

You can use regular expression to get the file name. Here is an example: https://dotnetfiddle.net/DdzA3c
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string file = @"C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\FYP\Animal\abc.jpg";
        string pattern  = @"[ \w-]+?(?=\.)";

        Regex regex = new Regex(pattern);

        Match match = regex.Match(file);

        Console.WriteLine(match.Value);
    }
}

Hi,

Refer This Code

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
counter++;
try // Get the tif file from C:\image\ folder
{
string path = @"C:\image\";
String filename = Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, "*.png").FirstOrDefault();
if (null != filename) {
// Load picture
pictureBox1.Load(filename);
// Show the file name
lblFile.Text = filename;
}
else {
//TODO: No *.png files are found
}
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("No files or " + ex.Message);
}
}
