The first example shows how to download a file synchronously and the second, asynchronously. Just a quick post. Thought it would help someone out that.
using System.Net;
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile("http://yahoo.com/file.txt", @"c:\file.txt");
This one shows how to download a file in C# asynchronously.
private void btnDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(Completed);
webClient.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChanged);
webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://mysite.com/myfile.txt"), @"c:\myfile.txt");
}
private void ProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
progressBar.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}
private void Completed(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download completed!");
}
