Downloading DLLs

[Guest]

I've created a web service that sends a DLL to a smartdevice client app via a
byte stream.. Unfortunately, when I attempt to use the function
File.Create("MainWindow.dll"), no file is created?

Any tips...?

It probably is created; I would suspect you're looking in a wrong place.

You see, unlike desktop, device has no notion of current folder so all paths
are absolute and this files ends up in a root folder.

I'm actually using reflection to denote the path of the current directory...

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()
[0].FullyQualifiedName) + "\\MainWindow.dll";

try
{
if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}

FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew);
BinaryWriter binWriter = new BinaryWriter(fs);

binWriter.Write(assBytes);

binWriter.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("There was an error while writing the dll");
}
