I looked all over at the File class and saw nothing for getting the size of
a file, how do i do that?

Look at the FileInfo class

in particular the Length property.

I appreciate it and you know that should be helpful but looking up the
example in MSDN shows you having to iterate through an ENTIRE directory when
i already have the name and path of a file I just want the length of ONE
file. how do I do that?
