This is one of those forum questions that you “think” you know the answer to, and then you’re proven wrong.User wants to download a file from a remote site but they do not want to proceed with the download if the file is larger than 10MB. Make sense, right? I said there was no way to do this without downloading the file. I was wrong. Here’s how he solved his own problem:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string completeUrl =
"http://www.eggheadcafe.com/FileUpload/1145921998_ObjectDumper.zip";
WebClient obj = new WebClient();
Stream s = obj.OpenRead(completeUrl);
Console.WriteLine( obj.ResponseHeaders["Content-Length"].ToString());
s.Close();
obj = null;
Console.ReadLine();
}The above correctly reports the file size of 85,827 bytes without ever downloading the file! Somebody had a problem. Instead of giving up (or worse, taking my so-called “expert advice”) he thought “outside the box” and found a solution. I call that outstanding! Read more: Peter Bromberg's Unblog
