The name System.IO.File.Move does not exist in current context(VS 2019)

Question

using System.IO;

string srcFile = @"C:\Users\Anne\results.trx";
string destFile = @"C:\Users\Anne\results.trx2";
System.IO.File.Move(srcFile, destFile);

Why is the System.IO.File reference not recognized?

Answer 1

Your code execute just fine, the issue lies elsewhere and you'll need to provide more details of your project's setup.

Remember to try restarting etc. as well.

Answer 2

I discovered the issue was caused by incorrect placing System.IO.Move() - I placed in within a class but outside method brackets.
