There have been problems in CFile::GetStatus ever since MFC came out. I
finally ended up writing my own GetStatus () routine outside of CFile. It
has problems with file times that are incorrect or invalid (yes it's
possible to have a file with an invalid time) and, as you suspect, it also
doesn't like files that are really large (only uses small size from the
return).

These are easy problems to work around once you now they are there. You
could start by just copying the GetStatus() code from the CFile code in MFC,
turning it into a standalone routine, and fixing the problems.

Send me an email if you want me to send you a routine to get started with...

Hi,

I am using CFile::GetStatus to read details such as time and date of
creation, but it raises an ASSERT error on the line
ASSERT(findFileData.nFileSizeHigh == 0);
in filest.cpp, I think because my file is larger than 4GB in size (It's
over
9GB).

Can anyone confirm this, and suggest any alternatives?

I am using Visual Studio .NET windows XP.

Thanks,
Steph
