What have you tried? Have you possibly looked at the documentation for File.Copy?

No, not Copy. File.Move.

Below is what I found when I looked at the Visual Studio Help file documentation.

In the .NET Framework documentation, Common I/O Tasks[^] lists things you might want to do to a file. This is a good page to add to your favorites.

For rename, the documentation says to use the File.Move Method[^]
