Hi,
How does File.Move implmented?
I am like to use it a lot but when I come a cross a large file >500 MB
my UI is freezed.
I think about implement my own fileMove function but I am not sure what
is the efficient way to implement it. There are many thing in the
System.IO such as BinaryRead, BinaryWrite FileStream etc.
Please advice me on how to handle file.move for large binary file.
Many thanks,
kids

Even if you implement your own function, UI is still likely to hang
unless you make use of async IO. I think it is better to still use
File.Move, but call it on a different thread.
When the file is in the same partition, it is renamed. When on different
partitions, the file is copied and then deleted from source. For large
files, this is just going to take time, so I would not do this operation on
the UI thread. Create a backgroundworke r.

Is it possible to show the progress (in progress bar) during file move?
Go backgroundworke r way.
yes. Examples should be on google.

More on this, note that you don't know the actual progress of
File.Move. You could guess that base on the file size, but it is not
exact. Maybe better just displaying a label saying file is copying.

Im writing a program to search for a string in a binary file.
And it works. The problem is: It is sooo slow! how can i make it faster?
It takes 27 seconds just to search a 5 meg file.
I guess it has something to do with the strequal() function...
Btw, thanks to all of you who answered last time!

I have a large file, I want to be to open the first file in a stream,
read a chunk (say 1024 bytes) and stick it in a byte array, open the
second file in a different stream, read a chuck (the same size as
before), compare the two arrays and, if they match, then move to the
next chunk.
Does anyone have any example for this. Please post it
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a problem that I have been working with for a while.
I need to be able from server side (asp.net) to detect that the file i'm
streaming down to the client is saved completely/succsessfully on the
client's computer before updating some metadata on the server (file
downloaded date for instance)
However,
All examples i have tried, and all examples I have found that other people

I have a problem where I'm developing some code that moves files from
one place to another (on the same drive) with the destination file
having a new name.
What's happening is that the line of code where I do the file.move is
taking a very long time (in the order of around 7 seconds for a simple
30kb file).
The only thing that I can think may be causing the problem is that
theere is around 1.1 million files to move, so perhaps it's the

The code below is what I'm trying to use. Anyone see any obvious

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
