Uploading a Word Document to Sharepoint using SaveBinaryDirect() resulting in corrupted document

Question

I am uploading a document to sharepoint site using client object model.

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"C:\temp\UlDoc.docx", FileMode.Open))
{
    File.SaveBinaryDirect(_cc, "/demo/Word%20Docs/temp.docx", stream, true);
}

The file is uploading to the site with same filename but it is getting corrupted (only 18kb) instead of the actual file size. Any help!

Thanks.

This is helper method to return the bytes form the stream. Please let me know if you face any issue with this code.

I am using the same code in SilverLight Application.

public static byte[] ReadFully(Stream input, long fileSize)
        {

            //long fileSize = input.Length;

            byte[] buffer = new byte[fileSize];

            //   byte[] newArray = new byte[16 * 1024];
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                int read;
                while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
                {
                    ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
                }
                return ms.ToArray();
            }
        }

Use var localFile = new FileCreationInformation() for saving a file using client Object model.

List docs = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("test"); 
                var localFile = new FileCreationInformation(); 
                localFile.Content = ReadFully(_openFileDialog.File.OpenRead(),
_openFileDialog.File.Length);
                // localFile.Overwrite = true;

                string FileNameWithoutExtension = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(_openFileDialog.File.Name);

                string FileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(_openFileDialog.File.Name);


                    localFile.Overwrite = true; 
                    localFile.Url = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(_openFileDialog.File.Name);


                file = docs.RootFolder.Files.Add(localFile);
                context.Load(file);
                text= file.ListItemAllFields;
                text["Title"] = file.Name;

                text.Update();
                context.Load(file.ListItemAllFields);
                context.ExecuteQueryAsync(sucess, failed);

Answer 2

I believe that only the default buffer is loaded at maximum and that is why is corrupted. Try looping through the array as such :

FileStream fstream = File.OpenRead(<file_location_here>);
            byte[] content = new byte[fstream.Length];
            fstream.Read(content, 0, (int)fstream.Length);
            fstream.Close();

Now the FileStream should have it all loaded.

use then an SPWeb previously opened and the method Add as in

using (SPSite _site= new SPSite("URL"))
{
 using (SPWeb _web = _site.OpenWeb()){
_web.Files.Add("<FULL LIB PATH>/<NAME OF THE FILE>", content);
}
}
