Get file/folder size from sharepoint using GetListItems - sharepoint

Question

I am calling Sharepoint web service methond GetListItems, and don't see anything about file/folder size being returned. Am I missing something, or is there another way to get the size of the file/folder. Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

the field you need is called ows_FileSizeDisplay, this returns an int for the number of bytes.
here is some code to put you on the rigth track
List<File> files = new List<File>(1);
File tempFile;
#region Get SharePointItems
SharePointListService.Lists svc = new SharePointListService.Lists();
XmlNode spItemsNode;
try
{
svc.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
svc.Url = baseSharePointPath+"/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
XmlNode queryOptions =
xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "QueryOptions", "");
queryOptions.InnerXml = "<QueryOptions><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns><DateInUtc>TRUE</DateInUtc><Folder>" +
baseSharePointPath + "/"+ listName + "/"+ folderName + "</Folder></QueryOptions>";
XmlNode query =
xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Query", "");
query.InnerXml = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Usage'/><Value Type='Text'>%%usage%%</Value></Eq></Where>";
query.InnerXml = query.InnerXml.Replace("%%usage%%", ConvertFileUsageToString(usage));
spItemsNode = svc.GetListItems(listName,
null, query, null, null, queryOptions, null);
}
finally
{
svc.Dispose();
}
// load the response into an xml document
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.LoadXml(spItemsNode.OuterXml);
// create a namespace manager
XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable);
// add all the special SharePoint Namespaces in
ns.AddNamespace("rs", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset");
ns.AddNamespace("z", "#RowsetSchema");
ns.AddNamespace("sp", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/");
ns.AddNamespace("s", "uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882");
ns.AddNamespace("dt", "uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882");
XmlNodeList Items = xDoc.SelectNodes(#"/sp:listitems/rs:data/z:row", ns);
#endregion
foreach (XmlNode currentFile in Items)
{
tempFile = new File();
tempFile.Name = currentFile.Attributes["ows_NameOrTitle"].Value;
tempFile.Type = currentFile.Attributes["ows_DocIcon"].Value;
tempFile.Usage = ConvertToFileUsage(currentFile.Attributes["ows_Usage"].Value);
tempFile.Data = getFileBytes(currentFile.Attributes["ows_RequiredField"].Value, baseSharePointPath);
files

Here is a nice code snippet that will do the job shout if you have any questions
Folder folder = getFolder(serverRelitiveURL);
FileCollection files = folder.Files;
folder.Context.Load(files);
folder.Context.ExecuteQuery();
int folderSize;
foreach(file in files)
{
ListItem li = file.ListItemAllFields;
Console.writeline(li["File_x0020_Size"]);
folderSize = li["File_x0020_Size"]+folderSize;
}
Console.writeline(folderSize);
