Hi,

I tried to rename a file using FileInfo but I don't see how I could do it ?

Is there a way to rename a file ?

thnx

Christian

Use the File classes static/Shared Move method. It doesn't seem all that
intuitive, I know.

Try FileInfo.MoveTo or File.Move.

In VB it's 'Rename(OldPath, NewPath)'.
