With credit to ThePhantomUpvoter whose comment is pointing you to the correct method...

You have used .GetName which is correctly returning the name of the folder.

If you want the filenames you need to use .GetFiles for example
VB
For Each f As String In FileIO.FileSystem.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Letters\test"))
            ComboBox1.Items.Add(f)
        Next


[Edit - OP wants just the first part of the file name - no path, no suffix]

Here is one (clunky) way of getting just the first part of the filename
VB
For Each f As String In FileIO.FileSystem.GetFiles("c:\\develop")
    Dim s() As String
    s = f.Split(New Char() {".", "\\"})
    ComboBox1.Items.Add(s(s.GetUpperBound(0) - 1))
Next

Thank you so much but i need just filenames it added this to my combobox:
h:\test\test\bin\debug\Letters\test.inf
But I need JUST test
And if I want to add the texts of files ,I should use this code ????
For Each f As String In FileIO.FileSystem.ReadAllText(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Letters\")
ComboBox1.Items.Add(f)
Next

I updated my solution with one method of getting just that bit of the filename

and for the 2nd bit of your comment it depends if you want each line from your file as a separate entry on the combobox - see this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/db5x7c0d.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1[^]

Just as an FYI, the Path class has a method for that, instead of all that splitting. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.getfilenamewithoutextension.aspx

Thanks - couldn't remember the flippin' class name! (Hence "clunky") must be my age :-)
