Anytime you think of a VFP command or function that you want to know how to implement in .NET, the first thing you should do is go look it up in the VFP Toolkit for .NET. Here's the link:

To do a JUSTSTEM() function, here's what you need to do:

public static string JustStem(string cPath)
{	
	//Get the name of the file
	string lcFileName = JustFName(cPath.Trim());

	//Remove the extension and return the string
	if(lcFileName.IndexOf(".") == -1)
		return lcFileName;
	else
		return lcFileName.Substring(0, lcFileName.LastIndexOf('.'));
}

public static string JustFName(string cFileName)
{
	//Create the FileInfo object
	FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(cFileName);
	//Return the file name
	return fi.Name;
}
