What is the best way to get the name (without the extension) of a file?

"Displayed name" will include the the extension if it is not hidden, so it won't work in all cases. This is what I came up with:

set Ext_hidden to the extension hidden of the_File
set the extension hidden of the_File to true
set the File_Name to the displayed name of the_File
set the extension hidden of the_File to Ext_hidden

Is there a better way?  (You get to define "better.")
