C# how to get .pdf file names only from folder without extension?

Question

I got following code to get .pdf file names from temp folder but how do remove extension from this? It seems like test.GetFileNameWithoutExtension("*.pdf") doesn't work. Help please.

            DirectoryInfo test = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\temp"); 
            FileInfo[] Files = test.GetFiles("*.pdf"); 

            comboBox1.DataSource = Files;
            comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";

var fileNames = Files.Select(f => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f.Name)).ToList();
combobox1.DataSource = fileNames;

GetFileNameWithoutExtension() is a method of System.IO.Path:

string[] Files = test.GetFiles("*.pdf")
     .Select(x => x => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(x.FullName))
     .ToArray();

The Path class is your friend:

Use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension
