Question

I’m having some trouble integrating two pieces of code. The first checks the size of a file and the next one loops trough a SQL database and looks for a matching name for a file. I basically want to check if it’s a new file or if the file has changed since I logged some of it’s data last time.

This gets the size of each file in the directory

 // Make a reference to a directory.
        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\Users");
        // Get a reference to each file in that directory.
        FileInfo[] fiArr = di.GetFiles();
        // Display the names and sizes of the files.
        MessageBox.Show("The directory {0} contains the following files:", di.Name);
        foreach (FileInfo f in fiArr)
            MessageBox.Show("The size of" + f.Name + " is " + f.Length + " bytes.");

This code loops untill it finds a mach or untill all entries has been looked trough.

  try
            {
                // LINQ query for all files containing the word '.txt'.
                var files = from file in
                                Directory.EnumerateFiles("C:\\Users")
                            where file.ToLower().Contains(".txt")
                            select file;

            foreach (var file in files)
            {
                //Get path to HH file
                filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file);

                tempString = "";

                //Keep looking trough database utill database empty or HH found
                while (inc != numberOfSessions && (filename != tempString))
                { 

                    sessionRow = sessions.Tables["Sessions"].Rows[inc];
                    tempString = sessionRow.ItemArray.GetValue(1).ToString();

                    inc++;
                }

Lets say ItemAttay.GetValue(2) returns the saved size of a file. How can i most efficiently keep the while loop going if

inc != numberOfSessions && (filename != tempString) && (sessionRow.ItemArray.GetValue(2) == f.length)

Thanks for having a look!
