I'm trying to catch the last part after the last backslash
I need the \Web_ERP_Assistant (with the \)

My idea was : 

C:\Projects\Ensure_Solution\Assistance\App_WebReferences\Web_ERP_WebService\Web_ERP_Assistant


\\.+?(?!\\)      //  I know there is something with negative look -ahead `(?!\\)`

But I can't find it.

Your negative lookahead solution would e.g. be this:

\\(?:.(?!\\))+$
