Hi. I have this code in c# . It doesn’t work I get this error:

Property or Indexer System.Io.FileSystemInfo.Name cannot be assigned
to — it’s read only.

    I can think of three possibilities:

    • Remove the setter entirely, making it a read-only property
    • Change the value of directory to refer to the specified directory
    • (Bizarre and dangerous!) Rename the directory on the file system so that its name is now as specified

    Without knowing what your property is really meant to represent, it’s hard to really say which of these options is appropriate, if any.
