What is the way to rename a file on the web server in code

in #ASP.NET 2.X
Hi
A few days back I got a question regarding what is the best way to rename a file in the server (say an uploaded File) using Asp.Net 2.0. According to me the best way to rename a file is by using the System.IO namespace and moving the file to the same location with a different Name.
In C#
Using System.IO
File.Move(@"C:\Dir1\SomeFile.txt", @"C:\Dir1\RenamedFileName.txt")
In VB
Imports System.IO
File.Move("C:\Dir1\SomeFile.txt", "C:\Dir1\RenamedFileName.txt")
[Note: You might get permission error if you do not have the permission to make changes in the folder ]
Hope this helps
Thanks
Vikram

Hi Yunus,
Thanks for your appriciation. You can use the search box to search the site. There is no registeration process in the site but if you want you can use the rss and atom feed to get updates when new posts are addded
