# GetFileName Method of the IFileAdapter Interface

<Note>
  This method is implemented in FRE for Linux and Windows.
</Note>

This method is implemented on the client-side. This method provides the path to the file.

## Syntax

### C++

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT GetFileName( BSTR* Result );
```

### C\#

```csharp theme={null}
string GetFileName();
```

### Visual Basic .NET

```vb theme={null}
Function GetFileName() As String
```

## Parameters

Result

\[out, retval] This parameter provides the path to the file.

## Return values

\[C++ only] If this method returns a value other than S\_OK, it indicates that an error occurred on the client-side.

## Remarks

The client implementation of this method must assure that all exceptions thrown inside the method are caught and handled and no exceptions are propagated outside the method. Propagation of an exception outside the method may lead to unpredictable results (such as program termination).
