My problem is about what should i write instead of `reader.GetString(3)` I found this line which should return the File Name --> `string pathName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);` — Mark, Apr 03 '20 at 14:10

Why not to check file extention by something like: f.Substring(f.LastIndexOf('.')+1, 3));

`f.Path = reader.GetString(f.Substring(f.LastIndexOf('.') + 1, 3));` -- Like this? – Mark Apr 03 '20 at 17:31
