Hi,
Please try below code -
int count = 1;
var date = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
string format = txtname.Text +=date;
string fileNameOnly = format;
string extension = ".jpg";
string path = @"E:\\Project backups\\Medical\\Sales_receipt\\";
string newFullPath = path + fileNameOnly + extension;
string newFileName="";
while (File.Exists(newFullPath))
{
newFileName= string.Format("{0}({1})", fileNameOnly, count++);
newFullPath = Path.Combine(path, tempFileName + extension);
}
Here "newFileName" provides new file name and "newFullPath" gives full path.

Hey there !
Can you tell me where you want to save this file ? is it database or somewhere else ?

If it is the database, then by going to the table and it field -- > open its property , there you find "Identity Increment" property just set it, and write this query :

DECLARE @totalcount INT
DECLARE @count VARCHAR(50)
SELECT @totalcount=(SELECT COUNT(UserId) FROM Users) /*This one is used to return total number of records in table */
IF @totalcount IS NULL /*Condition to check whether totalcount contains value or not*/
SET @count='08U1'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),3000)
ELSE
SET @count='08U1'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), 3000+(@totalcount))
INSERT INTO Users (UserId,UserName,LastName,Location) VALUES(@count,'SureshDasari','Dasari','Chennai')
