Answer 1

If you are working with files and paths, use FileInfo:

System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(@"C:\Users\Microsoft\Pictures\2010-04-22\003.jpg
");
string dir = f.DirectoryName;
string file = f.Name;

Or, as Marcelo Cantos says, you can use System.IO.Path. Using Reflector you can see that FileInfo.Directory name calls Path.GetDirectoryName(base.FullPath) so it’s very much the same
