I don't know how vague is my question.
can we make an application which takes in a folder location and rename's the files within(either by appending prefix/suffix)?

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

I just found few freewares here[^], but i am not allowed to use them at my desk.
Help me discover other ways!

yes you can.....

1. Dirctory.GetFiles
2. For loop through the length of above result
a. File.Copy to the new name
b. File.Delete the file

Note : You have to correct FileIOPermissions to carry the above process.

Of course you can write a program to do that - I've written just such a tool for my own use (and that probably would be completely useless to you).

I have to ask - if you're not allowed to use 3rd party programs, why would you be allowed to use something you wrote yourself? We can't even do that where I work.

Check following example, it contains code as well.

http://www.dotnetspark.com/kb/4176-fetching-file-information-from-selected.aspx[^]

You just need to add code for rename file.
use File.Copy function with Same folder path as source and destination.
it will work like Rename!

Mark as answer, if it is useful.

Thanks
