>>I have taken if(infile.is_open()) away as seen because when having this I received the size of: 0. I am not sure if this was okay to do ?

Don't do that. If is_open() fails that means the file could not be opened for some reason. And in that case all other fstream functions will fail too. You need to find out why the file can not be opened.

>>Getsize2 = Getsize.str();
You don't need Getsize2 string.
String^ sizeee = gcnew String(GetSize.str());

'Politics' is made up of two words, 'poli,' which is Greek for 'many,' and 'tics,' which are blood-sucking insects.
