Rename a file DOT.NET V2

[Lloyd Sheen]

Seems to me there should be a simple method available in the framework to
rename a file, but I cannot find such a thing. This has to be something
that is done all the time so I am assuming I just don't see the function.

Help, thanks

Try:

File.Move(oldfilename,newfilename)

Try:

File.Move(oldfilename,newfilename)

You could also try the new methods in the "My" object:

\\\
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(file, newName)
///

Thanks guys. I only want to use non VB libs so that I can convert to C#
without too many problems so I will use the File.Move. That is not too
intuitive then is it.

.... or 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.Rename'.
