Dear all,

There is Rename function available in Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace and is
only available to VB.Net and not to other language like C#. seems strange
when i do it. But the best universal and standard solution to rename the file
is to use the File.Move method but in case if you r working on VB.NET, you
got the rename function to rename your files.

Richard,

I've always done it like that, which is pretty straightforward. However, if
anyone knows a better/different way...

Why is that a problem? It works as intended. When calling the Move method
to the same folder, I believe it just changes the name and does not
actually "move" anything.

No, you can use the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace from C#. The Rename
method is a static one in the FileSystem class.

I can't see that it's likely to have a significantly different effect
to using File.Move though.
