Need file properties from my code to be represented properly.

Question

User-1660589204 posted

My FileDetails Model has following properties in it:

public partial class FileDetails
    {
        public string FileUrl { get; set; }
        public string Filename { get; set; }
        public string Case_ID { get; set; }
        public string FileType { get; set; }
        public Int64 File_Reference_Id { get; set; }
        public DateTime Created_Date { get; set; }
        public DateTime Updated_Date { get; set; }
        public string Status { get; set; }
        public string File_Id { get; set; }
        public string Preset { get; set; }
        public string Transcode_callbackUrl { get; set; }
        public string FileTranscodeJob_Id { get; set; }
        public string Transcription_callbackUrl { get; set; }
        public string jobDefinition { get; set; }
        public string TranscriptionJob_Id { get; set; }
    }

I am unable to set these values via fileInfo type. I need to set all these values in the foreach loop for multiple files. My implementation shows compile time error:

public Task<FileDetails> UploadFiles(string filename)
        {
            DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(path);
            List<FileDetails> details = new List<FileDetails>();
            FileInfo[] fileInfos = info.GetFiles("*.trm");
            if (fileInfos != null)
            {
                foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in fileInfos)
                {
                    FileDetails detail = new FileDetails();
                    detail.FileUrl = fileInfo.Name;
                    detail.Filename = fileInfo.FullName;
                    detail.FileType = fileInfo.Extension;
                    details.Add(detail);
                }
            }

I need to assign the exact naming values for my code, Is there any operation for this. Please help me with this.

Please take a few moments to review your code.  You have a path variable that is not defined.

public Task<FileDetails> UploadFiles(string filename)
{
    DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(path);
    List<FileDetails> details = new List<FileDetails>();
    FileInfo[] fileInfos = info.GetFiles("*.trm");
    if (fileInfos != null)
    {
        foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in fileInfos)
        {
            FileDetails detail = new FileDetails();
            detail.FileUrl = fileInfo.Name;
            detail.Filename = fileInfo.FullName;
            detail.FileType = fileInfo.Extension;
            details.Add(detail);
        }
    }

My implementation shows compile time error:

Which line?  Exact error?

Hi mgebhard, the path is defined in the constructor(dependency injection). Full code is:

 public RSBRepository(RSBContext dbContext, IConfiguration config) : base(dbContext)
        {
            _dbContext = dbContext;
            path = config["FilePath:SharedFolderPath"];
        }
        public Task<FileDetails> UploadFiles(string filename)
        {
            DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(path);
            List<FileDetails> details = new List<FileDetails>();
            FileInfo[] fileInfos = info.GetFiles("*.trm");
            if (fileInfos != null)
            {
                foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in fileInfos)
                {
                    FileDetails detail = new FileDetails();
                    detail.FileUrl = fileInfo.Name;
                    detail.Filename = fileInfo.FullName;I need the file
                    detail.FileType = fileInfo.Extension;
                    details.Add(detail);
                }
            }
            var fileDetails = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            string url = "my api address";
            HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(fileDetails, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            var response = client.PostAsync(url, httpContent);
}

I need the fileinfo class to take and work with my FileDetails class. I do not have that functionality. My FileDetails class is:

public partial class FileDetails
    {
        public string FileUrl { get; set; }
        public string Filename { get; set; }
        public string Case_ID { get; set; }
        public string FileType { get; set; }
        public Int64 File_Reference_Id { get; set; }
        public DateTime Created_Date { get; set; }
        public DateTime Updated_Date { get; set; }
        public string Status { get; set; }
        public string File_Id { get; set; }
        public string Preset { get; set; }
        public string Transcode_callbackUrl { get; set; }
        public string FileTranscodeJob_Id { get; set; }
        public string Transcription_callbackUrl { get; set; }
        public string jobDefinition { get; set; }
        public string TranscriptionJob_Id { get; set; }
    }

I need the FileInfo Class to accept the file information that meets the filter(class), so I could encapsulate this information into a custom fileDetails model object, and then serialize it as a parameter to your API.

Hi PaulTheSmith,

I do not have an error, I need to modify(if possible) the FileInfo to synchronize with my FileDetails class. Class code is in the same thread as reply. I need  the FileInfo Class to accept the file information that meets the filter(FileDetails class), so I could encapsulate this information into a custom fileDetails model object, and then serialize it as a parameter to your API. Lines to customize are highlighted in yellow color.

Sry, I misread your initial post "My implementation shows compile time error:"  I thought that meant you had a compiler error ..

It is not clear to me what you want.  Can you give an example of what file information you are want - maybe show us a sample filename and tell us which parts you want to extract.

Hi PaulTheSmith,

I will need the below details from a file :

public string FileUrl { get; set; }
        public string Filename { get; set; }
        public string Case_ID { get; set; }
        public string FileType { get; set; }
        public Int64 File_Reference_Id { get; set; }
        public DateTime Created_Date { get; set; }

This is a part of code from my Model, I have shared in same thread. Case_Id will be part of file. File_Reference_Id is auto-generated from DB(unique ID). If file location is:  C://Docuemnts//1234555_text.trm

FileURL: C:/Docuemnts/1234555_text.trm

FileName: 1234555_text.trm

Case_ID: 1234555

FileType: trm

File_Reference_Id: generated from DB

Created_Date: <date from folder details> if today, 11-12-2020 16:10:00(mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss)

I hope I am clear, I need to save these values into DB. Please help me.

FileURL is fileInfo.FullName

FileName is fileInfo.Name

Case_ID is int.Parse(fileInfo.Name.Split('_')[0])

FileType is fileInfo.Extension.Split('.')[1]

CreatedDate is fileInfo.CreationTime

Thanks PaulTheSmith,

Can you please give me details of how to match other properties in fileinfo as per my Model.

       
        public DateTime? UpdatedDate { get; set; }:  file updated date
        public string Status { get; set; } : to be provided in program, need to assign using fileInfo
        public string FileId { get; set; }: given by API(aplhanumeric) to be in fileinfo
        public string Preset { get; set; }: to be provided in program, need to assign using fileInfo
        public string TranscodeCallbackUrl { get; set; } to be provided in program, need to assign using fileInfo
        public string FileTranscodeJobId { get; set; } given by API(aplhanumeric) to be in fileinfo
        public string TranscriptionCallbackUrl { get; set; } to be provided in program, need to assign using fileInfo
        public string JobDefinition { get; set; } given by API(aplhanumeric) to be in fileinfo
        public string TranscriptionJobId { get; set; } given by API(aplhanumeric) to be in fileinfo
   These vales are from same model and the values will be assigned by communicating with DB.

What problem do you have?  Show your code.

UpdatedDate - which of the FileInfo properties do you think is closest to your concept of UpdatedDate - use that one

Status - we have absolutely know idea what this might mean  If you don't understand the specification  you are working to then ask the people who provide the specifiication

FileId - your specification tells you how to get this information - do it!

etc...
