Can I access file name and file type by using File.Exists

Question

filepath variable is coming over UDP socket. And after my codes are below:

string filename=null;
string filetype=null;
if (File.Exists(filepath)){
     filename=?????;
     filetype=????;
}

Can I access file name and file type?

You can get the filename and filetype using Path class.

filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filepath)
filetype = Path.GetExtension(filepath)
