Hi all

VB

Dim source As String = "C:\Application\project_blank.bak"
 Dim dest As String = "C:\Application\" & txtCompanyCode.Text & "\"

these are my to string.
i need to copy the file, but before that i have to rename it as the same name of the value of the textbox.
e.g. if txtCompanyname.text contains value as AAA0001, then the .bak file should rename as that and copy to the folder.

Please tell me how to do that

Well I've given you the link to the Copy method; you should look at the rest of the methods available to see how to do it (hint Move is the same as Rename).
