hi

ive been tryin to download a file asparts using mutiple threadsinC#...

how can i request the thread to download only a range of bytes ... say starting the download directly from 100000th byte of a file whose location and size are know...

it is found that "WebRequest.AddRange();" can be used for the above stated purpose

can any one help with a sample code that ll serve my purpose..

thank you

cheers

bye

Hi,

Yes, WebRequest.AddRange() can do it.

For example (C# code):

string GetWebPageContent(string url)
{
string result = string.Empty;
HttpWebRequest request;
const int bytesToGet = 1000;
request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;

//get first 1000 bytes
request.AddRange(0, bytesToGet - 1);

// the following code isalternative, you may implementthe function afteryour needs
using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
}
return result;
}
