Language: C#/WPF, VS2012, WPF Window with label
I have a label that sits inside of an image control in a WPF window. The label displays the file path for a file. My problem is that I can't seem to find a way to get the last few words, ie filename and extension to be displayed. I've tried setting HorizontalContentAlignment to Right, but that doesn't help.

Say I have this file path: C:\TestArea\TestFile.txt
The textbox should display the last portion of the file path rather than giving C:\TestArea high priority of being seen inside the textbox.
