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!

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

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

Does that help?

vb 2005 and vb 2008:

My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c:\test\test.txt", "c:\test\NewName.txt")
