Question

I have the following code which is working fine

    <asp:TemplateField>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <div runat="server" id="divFileName" class="divFileName" title='<%# Eval("FileName")%>'>
                <%# Eval("FileName")%></div>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>

the result of Eval("FileName") returns a full path string such as the following:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_diasymreader.dll

I would like in the client side to send Eval("FileName"); to a javascript method that will crop Eval("FileName"); value and will return the file name only without the full path. (for this example it should return sbs_diasymreader.dll)

The result of what i am trying to achieve is that eventually the table that currently contains full names with path, will display only the file without the path

How can this be done?

Answer 1

If the FileName field contains the full path you can use FileInfo class

<%# new FileInfo((string)Eval("FileName")).Name %>
