how to change file name?

I'm learning vb.net, I have to work with file and folders.
I need to know how to change file or folder name.
Could you help me?
Thanks for advanced!

Re: how to change file name?

Sure no problem

 Dim newName As New FileInfo("filename.gif")

   

   newName.MoveTo("filename2.gif")

This should work. You can look at fileinfo.moveto() or file.move() for more information

here is an example

http://www.example-code.com/vbdotnet/rename-file.asp

you can google "vb.net rename file" and get more.

Does that help?
