.NET Forum / Languages / C# / February 2008Question c#
Is it possible to replace a string path with a steam of some sort? Here is an example: item.path = "filename.xxx" where you use some method (streaming comes to mind) that allows me to actually stream the file to item.path instead of having to write it out to the hard drive first? Ross, How else are you going to get the file to the path? You ^must^ write the file to the hard drive in order to, as you put it "stream the file to the path". You can't have a file on disk with a path without writing the file to disk.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was hoping there was a way to wrap a memory stream (orf something) around the process. So that the calling program would work as desired but i could save the time it takes to write out and then read the file again. Thanks again. I see what you are saying. There is no object representation for a path (they are represented as strings) which would allow you to do this. If the method/property took a Stream, then that would be great, as you could pass it any number of derivations of Stream which would give you the characteristics that you want. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so you will have to resort to writing to a temp file or something of that nature and passing that to your property.

Didn't think so but thought i would give it a try.

MemoryStream whatever = new MemoryStream(); comes to mind, the question and cap might be a clearer..
