bytes to kilobytes

That is because you are converting to double AFTER performing an integer division! double filesz; foreach(FileInfo fi in fiAvi) { lvItem = listView1.Items.Add(fi.Name); filesz = Convert.ToDouble((fi.Length))/1024; lvItem.SubItems.Add(filesz.ToString()); } [note where the parenthesis have been moved to....]

I tried to do that and I still get no decimal numbers. Here is the code double filesz; foreach(FileInfo fi in fiAvi) { lvItem = listView1.Items.Add(fi.Name); filesz = Convert.ToDouble((fi.Length)/1024); lvItem.SubItems.Add(filesz.ToString()); } thank you

instead of using int variable type for division, use either double, float or decimal like so double bytes = 1454; double kb = bytes/1024; MessageBox.Show(kb.ToString());
