You don't give us enough information to be of any help :
- What is ldFile?
- In which context (function) are you writing this line of code?
GetFileSize takes an handle to a file handle (type HANDLE) opened
through CreateFile as it's first parameter. From your description, I
believe ldFile is either a CFileDialog or a CString (result from
CFileDialog::GetFileName). In both cases, it is totally unrelated to a
file handle.
Concerning your remark "To a learner it does seem somewhat strange
that GetFileSize() is not easily available from a CFileDialog". What
do you mean exactly? The aim of CFileDialog is to return the *name* of
a file (as a CString). This is totally unrelated to GetFileSize or to
the size of any file altogether.
