Hi There...
I am a new user of .net so i dont know much about the .net.I am working on one application that is file uploading(video).
What i want to do is

IMP=> file=video file
1)Display the file while it is uploading(simultaneously display and upload the same file)
2)Break the file into equal parts so that it can be uploaded quickly.

I have gone through many forum and got some valuable info.What i want is either you suggest or explain just the concept of breaking the file and displaying while uploading and not to give the code(if anyone wish to than no prob)..
Thanks in advance...

Displaying a video while uploading doesn't quite make sense unless you are using a clientside application. While the uploading bit probably would deserve to be in this forum, the idea of displaying it while uploading makes it more worthy of a C# or VB.NET forum. I'm not saying you'd get better response there. I'm not a client application developer, so I don't know all the client side tricks that could be invoked easily. But it seems to me like you need a program that does two things:

1. Splits a (movie) file into chunks.
2. Plays said file.

On the server side, you need:
1. some thing that accumulates the chunks and can recombine chunks back into a file.

It might benefit you to have some sort of sanity check on both sides (checksum or CRC maybe?... or hell maybe the SHA-1 hash function).

Beyond this, things could get kinda interesting, but it's not really worth getting into detailed hypotheses unless you know where to go with it. For instance, how to play the movie? Do you just hand it off to Windows Media Player, or are there some components you could create/invoke to do something similar? My guess is probably (I know java has some movie handling components, so why not .NET??), but at this point all I could do is guess.

Hi there...
Thanx for reply. whatever you said in your reply like

"1. Splits a (movie) file into chunks.
2. Plays said file.

On the server side, you need:
1. some thing that accumulates the chunks and can recombine chunks back into a file."
is absolutely true.

i know how to upload the video but i dont know how to split the file into chunks. Will you help me?
Thanx anyway..

Thanks & Regards
