Question

I would like to create a method which takes either a filename as a string or a FileInfo and adds an incremented number to the filename if the file

Hope this self iterating function may help. It works fine for me.

public string getUniqueFileName(int i, string filepath, string filename)
    {
        string path = Path.Combine(filepath, filename);
        if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
        {
            string name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename);
            string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename);
            i++;
            filename = getUniqueFileName(i, filepath, name + "_" + i + ext);
        }
        return filename; 
    }
