Hi,

In D365 Finance and Operations, user can attach multiple files to a document. I am trying to find out what would be the best way to find the file sizes of these documents.

I can access the documents using the DocuRef table and get the file stream using DocumentManagement::getAttachmentStream(), but is there a better way to directly get the file size instead of reading the stream ?

Hi Pragun,

Well thats the best option. To get the size in MB you can use following:

Stream.Length/( 1024 * 1024)

Thanks for your response Sumit.

So as I understand there is no file size stored by default and the only option is to read the file using a stream.

If your files are stroed in Azure blobs, an alternative solution would be breaking the abstraction and getting the size through Azure Storage API: BlobItem.Properties.ContentLength.
