VB 2005 express problem?

Question

i have a Label1.Text that displays a randomly produced number. is there a way to rename a file using Label1.Text as the file name

Answer 1

Let's assume your file is originally named "oldfile.txt" and is on the root of "C:\"

-----

Dim oldFileName As String = "C:\Oldfile.txt"
Dim newFileName As String = Label1.Text

My. Computer. FileSystem. RenameFile (oldFileName, newFileName)

-----

(Of course, you shouldn't put spaces after the dots in that last line. I did, in order to keep Yahoo from truncating the long string, so you could see the whole thing.)

Answer 2

You need to "move" the file

Dim fi As New FileInfo("myImage.gif")

fi.MoveTo("myImage2.gif")
