My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile Method

From the sounds of it, the File variable you're passing to the RenameFile method either isn't a full file path or it's a path to a file that doesn't exist. I really can't tell which is the case here.

 

[sathya.cs]

Filename i am passing is 100% correct cause for testing purpose i m using FileBrowserDialgo to select the File...

Here's what I did: I created a text file: C:\Test.txt and typed some random chars it in and saved it.

I then created a new WinForms app, added a button and put this code in:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("C:\Test.txt", "Test1.txt")
End Sub

I checked my C: drive and sure enough, the file was renamed.

 

[sathya.cs]

Yes, its changed....but an Exception is Caught and says "the specified file is not Find"

So then it's something else going on with your code, it means that after the file is renamed somewhere else you're still trying to use the old name or something.
