Change File Extension Using C#
There is: Path.ChangeExtension
method. E.g.:
var result = Path.ChangeExtension(myffile, ".jpg");
In the case if you also want to physically change the extension, you could use File.Move
method:
File.Move(myffile, Path.ChangeExtension(myffile, ".jpg"));
How to change file extension when saving selected file in a FileUpload to the server
Use Path.ChangeExtension
string path = "C:\\SomePath\\Somefile.xls";
string newPath = Path.ChangeExtension(path, ".xlsx");
In your case, probably something like this (not tested):
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
fileName = Server.MapPath(Path.Combine("~/ProcessedFiles/", fileName));
FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Path.ChangeExtension(fileName, ".xlsx"));
Change extensions of all files in a directory
Path.ChangeExtension
only returns a string with the new extension, it doesn't rename the file itself.
You need to use System.IO.File.Move(oldName, newName)
to rename the actual file, something like this:
foreach (string myfile in filePaths)
{
filename = Path.ChangeExtension(myfile, ".txt");
System.IO.File.Move(myfile, filename);
}
Renaming a file in C# and excluding the extension of the file
To rename a single file
FileInfo currentFile = new FileInfo("c:\\Blue_ 327 132.pdf");
currentFile.MoveTo(currentFile.Directory.FullName + "\\" + newName);
where newName is your new name without path. For example, "new.pdf"
If you need to keep old file extension
FileInfo currentFile = new FileInfo("c:\\Blue_ 327 132.pdf");
currentFile.MoveTo(currentFile.Directory.FullName + "\\" + newName + currentFile.Extension);
To rename multiple files
DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\temp\\");
FileInfo[] infos = d.GetFiles();
foreach(FileInfo f in infos)
{
File.Move(f.FullName, f.FullName.ToString().Replace("abc_","");
}

Change file extension when user changes Save As Type in SaveFileDialog
Ed,
I just tested and it works just fine.
I did this:
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.FileName = "untitled";
sfd.Filter = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt|Word Doc (*.doc)|*.doc";
sfd.ShowDialog();
And it automatically changes the suggested save name depending on the filter I choose.
I used the .NET 2.0 framework.
But I'm on Windows 7, which I think matters, since you see the system's file-save dialog, and the way it's implemented is what matters here.
How to change extension of string path in C#?
string strFile = @"http://login.contentraven.com/Uploads/g05fgxeto4dvsf5531yb3l45_16_8_2011_1_25_37.DOC";
string strTemp = Path.GetExtension(strFile).ToLower();
if (strTemp==".doc")
{
strFile = Path.ChangeExtension(strFile, "pdf");
}
How can I change the extension of the file name in a SaveFileDialog when the user changes the filter?
As SaveFileDialog can't be inherited, I guess you must build your own, using FileDialog as the base class.
