Check the size of a file

May 9th, 2008

I am trying to check the size of a file with this code.
The file is named "OneFile.txt" and is of the size 230 kb.

The MessageBox will show the number 37. If I change the file so it will be 460 kb instead, still the messageBox will show the number 37.
I am not sure if I have missed something here ? I beleive I am not checking the size of the file below.
I think I checking the string ?

 std::string path = "";

path = "C:\\Folder1\\Folder2\\OneFile.txt";
double filesize = path.size();

stringstream Getsize;
std::string Getsize2;
Getsize << filesize;
Getsize2 = Getsize.str();
					 
String^ sizeee = gcnew String(Getsize2.c_str());
MessageBox::Show(sizeee);
