How to rename a file in c# or vb.net
To rename a file in c# or vb.net you need to Move it, there is no inbuild function that would just rename a file without moving.
The Move function can not overwrite a file and will throw a IOException if the file already exists, therefore we try to delete it first if it exists.
Sample C#
const string oldName = @"C:\OldFilename.txt"; const string newName = @"C:\NewFilename.txt"; File.Delete(newName); // First delete the new file if it exists, because it wont be overwritten by Move File.Move(oldName, newName); // Move the file and give it a new name
Sample VB.NET
Const oldName As String = "C:\OldFilename.txt" Const newName As String = "C:\NewFilename.txt" File.Delete(newName) ' First delete the new file if it exists, because it wont be overwritten by Move File.Move(oldName, newName) ' Move the file and give it a new name
