Как FileStream.SetLength?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filestream.setlength.aspx
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
// Delete the file if it exists.
if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}
//Create the file.
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
{
fs.SetLength(1024*1024*1024);
}
TimeSpan elapsed = DateTime.Now - start;
Console.WriteLine(@"FileStream SetLength took: {0} to complete", elapsed.ToString() );
}
}
Вот примерный прогон, показывающий, как быстро выполняется эта операция:
