Well this answer is kinda asked here: Rename a file in C#

So basically use something like this:

System.IO.File.Move("oldfilename", "newfilename");

In your case:

string appPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) +
@"\IMAGES_DB\"; 

if (!Directory.Exists(appPath)) {                                                                                    
   Directory.CreateDirectory(appPath);                                              
}                                                                                    

if (opFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
    try {
        string iName = opFile.SafeFileName.Text;   
        string filepath = opFile.FileName.Text;    

        File.Move(filepath, appPath + iName); 
     } catch (Exception exp) {
        MessageBox.Show("Unable to open file " + exp.Message);
     }
}

i'm so sorry to say that.....but i don't know how to apply System.IO.File.Move("oldfilename", "newfilename"); THIS code into my code.because i wanna get textbox text and save the image in that name.i feel like i'm a fool...but please help me i'm a very beginner...... – Tharindu Shihan Apr 24 '19 at 06:59
Ah, I think you have to use than opFile.SafeFileName.Text and opFile.FileName.Text. As I understood opFile is a form which has 2 textboxes SafeFileName and FileName. The Text property on a textbox contains the inserted value. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.textbox.text?view=netframework-4.8#System_Windows_Forms_TextBox_Text – Maarten Kieft Apr 24 '19 at 07:33
What are they than? can you share your code somehow? – Maarten Kieft Apr 24 '19 at 09:10
