I'm looking for suggestions as to what type of form control, or what combination of form controls I should use for the following task:

I have a list of files that all need to be renamed, and the new name must be typed in manually. I essentially need to display the list of files, and provide a text box for renaming. I prefer that all files, and their new name are displayed all at once, instead of a list of files, with 1 text box that updates when you click on the file in the list.

sounds like a datagridview would work; one column for the old name, one column for the new name, and a 'commit' button to rename them all at once

Worked great, thank you.

You could use a DataGridView which shows the file names in one column and has a textbox in the next column which allows you to enter the new file name.
