VB.Net Getting file size in MBs/KB's
Posted on 2012-12-26
Hi Experts.
Can some please explain why I keep getting the answer 13 when the actual file size is 1.3G and how I would get MB's and KB's
Dim filename As String
filename = ("C:\backup.pst")
MsgBox(filename.Length)
I've tried converting to integer and long but then I just get 0
Thanks

Because you are asking for the length of a string. "C:\backup.pst" is 13 characters in length. To get file size do:
Dim info As New System.IO.FileInfo(@"C:\backup.pst")
MsgBox(info.Length)
