Accepted answer
This should work:

string text = txtProjEmployeeCode.Text;

EmpName = text.Substring(text.LastIndexOf('-') + 1);

You could also replace the last line with:

EmpName = text.Split('-')[1];

hi karthik, try this

string str1=txtProjEmployeeCode.Text;

EmpName = txtProjEmployeeCode.Text.Substring(txtProjEmployeeCode.Text.LastIndexOf('-')+1,str1.Length);

Thanks,
Pravin.
