How can I get total size of File in MB or KB etc... ?

Abhilash J A

Hello Everyone,

I have list of items to bind listview wpf. Inside list items there is FileSize = FormatBytes(x.fsize) I want to get total size of FileSize. How can I do that ?

public UC_ArcMgmt()
{
InitializeComponent();
DMSBusinessLayer service = new DMSBusinessLayer();
var data = service.GetArchivedList().SelectMany((x) => new[] { new { Fullname = x.Fullname, Id = x.Id, ArchievedName = x.ArchievedName, UpdatedDate = x.UpdatedDate, FileSize = FormatBytes(x.fsize), docCount = x.docCount } }).Distinct()
GroupBy((x) => x.ArchievedName);
List objTble_Documents = new List();
foreach (var x in data)
{
objTble_Documents = x.AsEnumerable().Select(m => new Tble_Documents()
{
Fullname = m.Fullname,
Id = m.Id,
ArchievedName = m.ArchievedName,
UpdatedDate = m.UpdatedDate,
FilePath = m.FileSize,
docCount = m.docCount
}).ToList();
}
listView1.ItemsSource = objTble_Documents;
}
private static string FormatBytes(long bytes)
{
string[] Suffix = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" };
int i;
double dblSByte = bytes;
for (i = 0; i < Suffix.Length && bytes >= 1024; i++, bytes /= 1024)
{
dblSByte = bytes / 1024.0;
}
return String.Format("{0:0.##} {1}", dblSByte, Suffix[i]);
}

Hey Abhilash,

Please check the below link that might be helpful to you to use sum and use groupby clause

Do check and use it accordingly.

use code like this.
using System;
using System.IO;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    // The name of the file.
    const string fileName = "test.txt";

    // Create new FileInfo object and get the Length.
    FileInfo f = new FileInfo(fileName);
    long s1 = f.Length;

    // Change something with the file.
    File.AppendAllText(fileName, " More characters.");

    // Create another FileInfo object and get the Length.
    FileInfo f2 = new FileInfo(fileName);
    long s2 = f2.Length;

    // Print the length of the file before and after.
    Console.WriteLine("Before and after: " + s1.ToString() +
        " " + s2.ToString());

    // Get the difference between the two sizes.
    long change = s2 - s1;
    Console.WriteLine("Size increase: " + change.ToString());
    }
}

Hello Amit,

Thank you for reply me. Actually here is showing two list items inside listview because of not happening total file size of file. So I want total size of whole files, if the Archived Name is same. This is my requirement. How can I do that?

Thanks,

Hey, First of all, please clarify your words "Still it showing two list. I want one list with total file size inside listview."

As stated in my previous answer, to show the sum of all file size to a seperate control i.e on a label.

Please elaborate so that we can do needful

Hello Amit,

I have changed code like shown below, but not getting total file size inside objTble_Documents Please help me.
var data = service.GetArchivedList().SelectMany((x) => new[] { new { Fullname = x.Fullname, Id = x.Id, ArchievedName = x.ArchievedName, UpdatedDate = x.UpdatedDate, FileSize = FormatBytes(x.fsize), docCount = x.docCount } }).Distinct()
roupBy((x) => x.ArchievedName);
static long totalFileSize = 0;
        private static string FormatBytes(long bytes)
        {
            totalFileSize += bytes;
            string[] Suffix = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" };
            int i;
            double dblSByte = totalFileSize;
            for (i = 0; i < Suffix.Length && totalFileSize >= 1024; i++, totalFileSize /= 1024)
            {
                dblSByte = totalFileSize / 1024.0;
            }
            return String.Format("{0:0.##} {1}", dblSByte, Suffix[i]);
        }
Still it showing two list. I want one list with total file size inside listview.

For the permanent solution of this issue, try implementing something as below.

First have a public enum that points to proper file size notation.
public enum Sizes
       {
           B=0,
           KB=1,
           MB=2,
           GB=3,
           TB=4,
           PB=5,
           EB=6,
           ZB=7
       }
second, have method that converts bytes to appropriate formats.
public static string FormatBytes(double ByteCount,int RoundDecimals)
{
double logVal = Math.Floor(Math.Log(ByteCount, 1024));
return $"{Math.Round(ByteCount / Math.Pow(1024, logVal), RoundDecimals)} {(Sizes)(logVal)}";
}
And you can always call the method as you want. Just for testing.
double bcount = 90000*10*1039;  // this is your byte count
int RoundDecimals = 3;  // number of decimal places
Console.WriteLine(FormatBytes(bcount,RoundDecimals));
Please mark it as an answer if it addresses the issue.

Well, I think that it becomes more complex to sum all the file size that contains suffix. If you want to sum all the items (FileSize column) and don't wanna modify anyof your ItemSouce then you need to add a variable and show its value
long totalFileSize =0;

private static string FormatBytes(long bytes)
       {
           totalFileSize += bytes
           string[] Suffix = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" };
           int i;
         ........
}
Now use this variable ae required.

Furthermore, if you need to get the fileSize of checked item then you need to split your long value with suffix which is time consuming
