Hi,

How can I check the maximum size of a file? I tried this:

if (openDlg.FileName.Length <= 204800) {
    errorProvider.SetError(textBoxAttachFile, "Maxiumum XX MB");
}

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Richard! I found myself another solution:

System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(openDlg.FileName);
this.textBoxAttachFile.Text = fileInfo.Length.ToString();

You are checking the length of the file not the size of the file.

Looks like you are checking the length of the file's name rather than its content; you probably need this[^].

@Member 7762422: I'm sorry but saying "I found myself another solution" you tell the lies. I hope this is just a mistake. But check again; and I think you owe Richard your apology.

Richard, you got 5.

Thanks for your vote, and comments. However, this is no big deal and will happen from time to time.

Sure, not a big deal as this is most likely just a mistake. However, you are the one to be credited for this answer, just for the sake of truth.
