                stream.Position = 0;
                fileCopy.LoadFromStream(currentFile.FileName, stream);
            }
            PortfolioFileData portfolio = ObjectSpace.CreateObject<PortfolioFileData>();
            portfolio.File = fileCopy;
            ViewCurrentObject.Portfolio.Add(portfolio);
            ObjectSpace.CommitChanges();

        If currentFile IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not currentFile.IsEmpty Then
            Dim fileCopy As FileData = ObjectSpace.CreateObject(Of FileData)()
            Using stream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
