Converted VB.NET to C# With Error

[daveofgv]

I am a VB.NET Programmer learning C#. One of my applications I transfered over to C# via an online converion tool. I am receiving an error which I do not see why it's causing an error. What I have now is:

try {

		if (System.IO.File.Exists(srcedest) == false) {
			//My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName:=sheet.Cells(row, 14).value & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 15).value)
            My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName) sheet.Cells(row, 1).value;
			// & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 2).value & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 3).value)

		}

	} catch (Exception ex) {
		txtLog3.AppendText(sheet.Cells(row, 1).value);
		// & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 3).value & vbCrLf)
	}

With the error of "expecting ;" at the "sheet" in My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName) sheet.Cells(row, 1).value; Why would this cause an error since you don't put a ";" until the end of a statement? Thanks in advanced. daveofgv

Dunno, maybe remove the newName) and stick a ) just before the ; ?

Apparently, I can only report you. Spam or Abusive. The new UI must be a huge success, if it's causing the hamsters so much overtime.

//My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName:=sheet.Cells(row, 14).value & "_" & sheet.Cells(row, 15).value)
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName) sheet.Cells(row, 1).value;

Your second line isn't the same as the first one. The reason is down to the fact that in the VB line, it's attempting to put sheet.Cells(row,1).value into the optional parameter newName. In your version, you don't do that - so the statement ends after the call to RenameFile.

Using a parameter name followed by a := means that you create that variable on the fly and assign the value to it. Just think of two statements:

string newName = sheet.Cells(row, 14).value + "_" + sheet.Cells(row, 15).value);
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(dest, newName);

Try to change to this line My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName = sheet.Cells[row, 14].value + "_" + sheet.Cells[row, 15].value)
