MemoryStream - Out Of Memory

Asked by thetimp in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, .NET, SQL Server 2005

Tags: c#, N/a, N/a

I am reading from PDF's from a SQL Server 2005 Database.

I have a method I modified from its original "Write to file" style to "Write to Stream" style, as i dont want the data to be written to the file system.

It extracts from the database fine, and for small PDF's (8k) creates the MemoryStream fine also.

But  my bigger PDf's (300 MB+) are bringing up the following error:

'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

   at System.IO.MemoryStream.set_Capacity(Int32 value)
   at System.IO.MemoryStream.EnsureCapacity(Int32 value)
   at System.IO.MemoryStream.SetLength(Int64 value)
   at <...>WriteBinaryToMemoryStream() in <blah blah blah> :line 552

Line 552 relates to the "stBinaryFileStream.Write" line in the attached code snippet.

I have 2GB of Ram in the server, and it doesnt get past 75%

What do I need to change to allow the 300MB + streams to be created?

regards
