Renaming dirs in C#

[palovidiu]

I am trying to rename a directory from C# , and I can not
find an elegant solution.

Many recommand MoveTo, Move, which seem to me .. more
like an overkill solution.(also i can't seems to shake
rights access violation exceptions beeing throwen)

On the net there are also solutions running batch files
and also , in VB.Net it seems there is FileSystem.Rename
but only in VB.Net.

has anyone found a better solution ?

Look in the System.IO namespace.

You will find DirectoryInfo which should allow you to do that type of thing.

According to MSDN, you can access VB only classes from C# using the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. However I tried it and it did not work. I did not see a FileSystem class in the namespace, or many of the classes MSDN claims is available in this namespace.

That probably would have been a highly ineficient way to go about it anyways.

In C# I believe renaming a directory is the same as moving it, so try this:

using System.IO;

Directory.Move(strOldDirPath,strNewDirPath);

As I wrote before , I tried Directory.Move, and DirectoryInfo.MoveTo , both throw a rights violation exception ..., I tried to remove eventualy present
rights on the directory, like readonly .. which could have
been responsible for that .. but the same.

thank you anyway
