Programmatically changing name of SPFolder

Question

Hi all:

I was wondering whether it is possible to programmatically change the name of an SPFolder after it has been created?

e.g.

foreach (SPFolder folder in list.RootFolder.SubFolders)
{
    if (folder.Name.Equals("blah"))
    {
        // set the name of the folder to something else
        folder.Name = "blah 2.0";
    }
}

Googling so far suggested that MoveTo is the only way of doing so. There are a lot of items inside the folder so I'm reluctant to moving it unless there is absolutely no other ways.

Thanks.

Answer 1

when you have an SPFolder object, you can do it like this:

folder.item["Title"] = "blah 2.0";
folder.item.SystemUpdate();'

Answer 2

I ended up using MoveTo as there was no other ways of doing this.
