bits

Im creating a download speed test, and im downloading a 800megabit file to a Byte[] in a memory stream with

webClient.DownloadDataAsync(new Uri(link), memStreamArray);

How can i check how many bits are in the memStreamArray while downloading? I need this so i can do a calculation on size / time to get the speed in realtime.

Im planing on performing this calculation in the webClient.DownloadProgressChanged event.

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
