CODE

DWORD FileLength( LPCTSTR szFilename ) {    DWORD dwReturn = 0;    if ( FileExists(szFilename) )    {        HANDLE hTemp;        hTemp = CreateFile( szFilename,                GENERIC_READ,                FILE_SHARE_READ,                NULL,                OPEN_EXISTING,                FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,                NULL );        if ( hTemp != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )        {            dwReturn = GetFileSize( hTemp, NULL );        }        CloseHandle( hTemp );    }    return dwReturn; }

Where, for example, I could get the size of my xbe file by feeding it "D:\default.xbe" ass the filename. Also, don't forget to use double slashes in your literal strings in C/C++

LPCTSTR szMyFileName = { "D:\\MyDataDir\\DataFile.txt" };

I hope that helps you.
