I think you misunderstand what TrimEnd does. It removes all instance of any of the characters you give it from the end of the string. The parameter for TrimEnd is actually a char array, not a string.

The following will give you the same results as your example.
$FileGenerique.TrimEnd(".abdeginprsvx")

I'm sure there are many ways to get what you are looking for in powershell, but I personally like using "-replace". It does use regex, so it's a little bit harder to get started with, but in this case you would need to escape the periods "\." and end the string with "$" to tell it to only look at the end of the line.

$FileGenerique -replace '\.aspx\.designer\.vb$', ''

Use "-replace" instead.

$FileGenerique -replace '\.aspx\.designer\.vb$', ''
