Re: how to change file name?

Sure no problem

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 Dim newName As New FileInfo("filename.gif")
 
   newName.MoveTo("filename2.gif")
 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?
