Creating a Huge Dummy File in a Matter of Seconds in C#

Question

I want to create a huge dummy file say 1~2 GBs in matter of seconds. here is what I\'ve written in C# :

file.writeallbytes(\"filename\",new byte[a huge numbe         


        

Answer 1

I could be wrong but you will probably find that it's impossible to create a file that large that quickly as there will be a bottleneck in the I/O writing process.

However in your code above the Applciation.DoEvents will be slowing things down. Also any repainting of the screenthis.label2.Text = will cause a slight slow down.
