Hi,

I have a difficult issue to solve. I have to download the videos which are located under server to client's pc's target path. I have a web application running on virtual pc and I have an embedded server running on my pc. I need to download the video which is located under server partially in small parts. The embedded server will get chunks and create the video file.
I have spent may days to find a solution. I have to find a way to do this.

I was wondering if there is a way to send byte array from a webmethod as return value?

I'm stuck..

Are you creating the video file for purpose of rendering it on a webpage? Otherwise you shouldn't be using any web platform and instead you'd be better off programming a windows service or other desktop app and use WCF.

No, I need to download video which is located at server to user's local path/network path.
