OutOfMemoryException when I read FileStream 500 MB
- by Alhambra Eidos
Hi all,
I'm using Filestream for read big file ( 500 MB) and I get the OutOfMemoryException.
Any solutions about it.
My Code is:
using (var fs3 = new FileStream(filePath2, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
byte[] b2 = ReadFully(fs3, 1024);
}
public static byte[] ReadFully(Stream stream, int initialLength)
{
// If we've been passed an unhelpful initial length, just
// use 32K.
if (initialLength < 1)
{
initialLength = 32768;
}
byte[] buffer = new byte[initialLength];
int read = 0;
int chunk;
while ((chunk = stream.Read(buffer, read, buffer.Length - read)) > 0)
{
read += chunk;
// If we've reached the end of our buffer, check to see if there's
// any more information
if (read == buffer.Length)
{
int nextByte = stream.ReadByte();
// End of stream? If so, we're done
if (nextByte == -1)
{
return buffer;
}
// Nope. Resize the buffer, put in the byte we've just
// read, and continue
byte[] newBuffer = new byte[buffer.Length * 2];
Array.Copy(buffer, newBuffer, buffer.Length);
newBuffer[read] = (byte)nextByte;
buffer = newBuffer;
read++;
}
}
// Buffer is now too big. Shrink it.
byte[] ret = new byte[read];
Array.Copy(buffer, ret, read);
return ret;
}
thanks in advanced,
