Short name for SDE featureclass?

Question

Is there an ArcObjects function to get a short name version of an SDE featureclass?

For example if my featureclass is:

FOOSCHEMA.BARLAYER

How do I just get "BARLAYER".

Or is it just a simple case of using string manipulation techniques with your language of choice?

BTW - This is an ArcEngine app.

Why not use IFeatureclass.AliasName? Its purpose is to provide a user friendly name. It is editable via IClassSchemaEdit. — Kirk Kuykendall, Commented Sep 27, 2011 at 21:01

Cast the sde workspace to ISqlSyntax and use the ParseTableName function.

Brilliant - I don't think I would ever have found that.

Got LINQ? Just stick a .Split('.').Last() on your property or variable that has the featureclass name.

featureClassName.Split('.').Last()
