trying to store images from an image library into a physical file

Question

I have an image library that I want its content stored into physical files using code. I can successfully get a collection of SPFiles with the picture. Then I am using this method to write them to file system:

foreach (SPFile file in list.Files)
            {
                using (StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(file.OpenBinaryStream()))
                {
                    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(targetFolder + "\\" + file.Name, false))
                    {
                        writer.Write(rdr.ReadToEnd());
                    }
                }
            }

However the result is the files are corrupted. The files have correct names and sizes. but i can't open them with any image viewer.

Answer 1

What happens if you flush and close the writer?

writer.Flush();
writer.Close();

Answer 2

Hi mher,


try the following code to store the images to the physical folder,

foreach (SPFile file in list.Files)
{
byte[] binfile = file.OpenBinary();
FileStream fstream = new FileStream(targetFolder + "\\" + file.Name, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
fstream.Write(binfile, 0, binfile.Length);
fstream.Close();
}
