    What about really large files?

    Our application needs to work with very large files, often 100MB or more each. Will Xceed Upload work well for large files? In particular, I'm hoping that on the client there is a way to avoid having to load the entire file into memory before it is sent to the server? And similarly on the server, is there a way to save the file to disk in chunks as it is received, or must it be fully loaded into memory before saving to disk (either for compressed or non-compressed)?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Re: What about really large files?

    At this point of development of Silverlight, everything has to be done in memory, on both sides.

    We are working at implementing a "SendChunked" feature for our component, just as the .NET framework provides for the HttpWebRequest class, but we have no time frame as to when this will be implemented.  I must add that on the server side, even in .NET, the file is always all loaded in memory before you have access to it.

    In principle, 100 MB should still work, if your server is configured to accept such large file, and that you have sufficient memory on each side.
