get file download size

[Abubakar]

Hi,
I want to know the size of a given file on the server before downloading it.
Say I'v a zip file whose url I know, now I want to know what size it is on
the server.
Thanx,

Abubakar.

Use the System.IO.FileInfo Object. It has a property called Length,
which is the size.

Dim di as new DirectoryInfo(strPath) 'Create DirectoryInfo object, in this
case, the path is your temp folder
Dim fi as FileInfo() = di.GetFiles() 'Create an array to hold the info of
all the files in the directory
Dim fiTemp as FileInfo

'Loop thru each element in the array to print the file size
For Each fiTemp in fi
console.writeline(fi.length)
