Change fileNames using C# code

[shazzy99]

Greetings,

How to change a file name using C# code with fixed path to the subject file?

Do I need to copy/create a new file with new name and delete the old one or is there a way to change the name without doing above.

I think there no method to do so, you can use DOS commands and call\send parameters to them from C# application.

Can you help me with that?

I guess File.Move(old,new) was too much to look for?

How can I get the file extension?

You can use string class to fetch the extension from its name or you can use FileInfo class.
