Compact Framework - Upload file via REST -

i looking best way transfer files compact framework server via rest. have web service created using .net web api. i've looked @ several questions , other sites dealt sending files, none of them seem work need.

i trying send media files wm 6 , 6.5 devices rest service. while of files less 300k, odd few may 2-10 or megabytes. have snippets use make work?

thanks!

i think minimum sending file:

using (var filestream = file.open(@"\file.txt", filemode.open, fileaccess.read, fileshare.read)) {     httpwebrequest request = (httpwebrequest)httpwebrequest.create("http://www.destination.com/path");     request.method = "post"; // or put, depending on server expects     request.contentlength = filestream.length; // see note below     using (var requeststream = request.getrequeststream())     {         int bytes;         byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; // reasonable buffer size         while ((bytes = filestream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) > 0)         {             requeststream.write(buffer, 0, bytes);         }     }      try     {         using (httpwebresponse response = (httpwebresponse)request.getresponse())         {          }     }     catch (webexception ex)     {         // failure     } } 

note: http needs way know when you're "done" sending data. there 3 ways achieve this:

• set request.contentlength used in example, because know size of file before sending anything
• set request.sendchunked, send chunks of data including individual size
• you could set request.allowwritestreambuffering write in-memory buffer, wouldn't recommend wasting memory on compact framework.
