Solution 1

You could use File.Move

C#

File.Move(Path.Combine("FilePath", "OldFileName"), Path.Combine("FilePath", "NewFileName"));

Use

<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.move.aspx">System.IO.File.Move</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.move.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

If source and destination is having same directory, then file will be renamed, otherwise moved to destination.
