FSO in C# .net 2010

Question

I have added the reference "Microsoft Scripting Runtime", and I have declared :

using Scripting;

Then, I am trying to test it, I made a function :

private void showmessage(string path)
{
FileSystemObject fso;
label1.Text = fso.GetFileName(path); 
}

I am only testing if it works or not, but I got an error "use of an unassigned local variable"

Sorry if it's like silly, and please help me to solve this. God Bless You :)

thanks ^^ I'll remember that. – user1639776 Sep 02 '12 at 03:38 — user1639776, Sep 02 '12 at 03:38

You need to initialize FileSystemObject before using it.

Try

FileSystemObject fso = new FileSystemObject();

Try this instead

label1.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path)

In .NET you access the file system using the System.IO namespace.
