truncating a file name - extension

I have a file being loaded into fd.ChosenName and wondering if there is a quick solution such as an opposite to stringbuilder to truncate a file name (extension) for display purposes. So if the value of fd.ChosenName is picture1.jpg I could actually display the text picture1 in a panel etc.

Solution 
  • str.SubString2(0, str.LastIndexOf("."))

    Edited for correct answer

    SubString2 takes 2 parameters, beginIndex and endIndex
