Help trimming off filename from path

I've got a form where i need to pull both the directory of a filename
and the directory with the filename of an .inf file... I figured the
easiest way to do this was to have an <input id=test type=file
runat=server> control for the user to find the .inf file, and then make
vb cut off the filename upon submission of the form. I just can't
figure out how to trim off the filename leaving just the directory it's
located in.


just as a test i'm trying to display the content as follows

Label1.Text = formINFLocation.Value.Trim(formDriverINF.FileName)

I did this hoping to dynamically trim off any inf filename that is
chosen... though it seems that the Trim function does not work the way
i was assuming it did. Is there another way to remove the filename from
this location? I have a hunch it's far more complicated than my simple
idea here. :D
