Change File Extension Using C

Question

I have many file types  pdf  tiff  jpeg  bmp  etc  My question is how can I change file extension  I tried this   my file  c  my documents my images cars a jpg  string extension   Path GetExtension myffile   myfile replace extension   Jpeg      No matter what type of file it is  the format I specify must be with the file name  But it does not work  I get file path from browser like c        a jpg  and the file format is a jpeg  So  when I try to delete it  it gives me an error  Cannot find the file on specified path   So  I am thinking it has something to do with the file extension that does not match  So  I am trying to convert  jpg to  jpeg and delete the file then

The method GetFileNameWithoutExtension  as the name implies  does not return the extension on the file   In your case  it would only return  a    You want to append your   Jpeg  to that result   However  at a different level  this seems strange  as image files have different metadata and cannot be converted so easily

You should do a move of the file to rename it  In your example code you are only changing the string  not the file   myfile   c  my documents my images cars a jpg   string extension   Path GetExtension myffile    myfile replace extension   Jpeg      you are only changing myfile  which is a string   To move the actual file  you should do  FileInfo f   new FileInfo myfile   f MoveTo Path ChangeExtension myfile    Jpeg       See FileInfo MoveTo
