If i right click on the files which are named as .txt i will have an option like rename if user selects that i would like to do the following things:

1. Displaying dialog to prompt for the name.
2. Changing the text of the node in the TreeView control.
3. Replacing the old file with the current file name in the path

well set the treeview's property as

treeView1.LabelEdit = true;

that will allow you to edit the node text easily. then you can handle the event "BeforeLabelEdit" to validate the new name of the file and change the file name (I would just copy the file to the new name and delete the existing one, am just lazy :) ). To validate the new file name you can use

System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()

to obtain list of illegal characters.

Hope this helps, good luck.
