filestream

I had some questions around the FILESTREAM capability of SQL Server 2008. What would the difference in performance be of returning a file streamed from SQL Server 2008 using the FILESTREAM capability vs. directly accessing the file from a shared directory? If 100 users requested 100 100Mb files (stored via FILESTREAM) within a 10 second window, would SQL Server 2008 performance slow to a crawl? marc_s If 100 users requested 100 100Mb files (stored via FILESTREAM) within a 10 second window, would SQL Server 2008 performance slow to a crawl? On what kind of a server?? What kind of hardware to

I'm in the process of writing a WCF service that will allow an ASP.Net web site to retrieve files (based on this article ). My problem is that when I return the stream, it's blank. For simplicity, I've isolated the code into a simple winforms app to try and find what the problem is with returning a stream and this is the code: private Stream TestStream() { Stream fs = File.OpenRead(@"c:\testdocument.docx"); return fs; } // This method converts the filestream into a byte array so that when it is // used in my ASP.Net project the file can be sent using response.Write private void Test() { System

I have been hearing about stream, more specifically file streams. So what are they? Is it something that has a location in the memory? Is it something that contains data? Is it just a connection between a file and an object? Any help would be appreciated The term stream is an abstraction of a construct that allows you to send or receive an unknown number of bytes. The metaphor is a stream of water. You take the data as it comes, or send it as needed. Contrast this to an array, for example, which has a fixed, known length. Examples where streams are used include reading and writing to files,

Based on Prakash's answer here , I thought I'd try something like this to remove the oldest lines in a file prior to adding a new line to it: private ExceptionLoggingService() { _fileStream = File.OpenWrite(GetExecutionFolder() + "\\Application.log"); _streamWriter = new StreamWriter(_fileStream); } public void WriteLog(string message) { const int MAX_LINES_DESIRED = 1000; StringBuilder formattedMessage = new StringBuilder(); formattedMessage.AppendLine("Date: " + DateTime.Now.ToString()); formattedMessage.AppendLine("Message: " + message); // First, remove the earliest lines from the file if

I wanna upload/update file by System.IO.FileStream in Google Documents List API(C#)? I use two way below: Google.GData.Client.ResumableUpload.ResumableUploader (1) public void UpdateAsync(Authenticator authentication, AbstractEntry payload, object userData) (2) public void UpdateAsync(Authenticator authentication, Uri resumableUploadUri, Stream payload, string contentType, object userData) (1) Success. (2) Failed with 403 Forbidden or another... So, does someone have any sample code about (2)? My Code for (2): This code is edited by sample code from Claudio Cherubino , and it's work for
