I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.

I use this line to download files: My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(VideoFilename, SaveLocation, "", "", True, 8000, True But if a users cancel the download my application crashes. I searched Google but there's very little info about this problem. I tried with: My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(FilenameMP3, SaveLocation, "", "", True, 8000, True, FileIO.UICancelOption.ThrowException, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin()) But that line of code doesn't work. I need to get rid of the file when a users cancel

I have read about Network.Downloadfile and I think I understand it! I want to know if there is an easy way to test a files date modified before downloading it. I have a lot of files in the folder. I really want to "sync" the folder. I don't want to copy every file every time I want to only download the file if I don't have the file in the destination location or if I have an Old copy.

I am using Visual Basic 2010. I use successfully webclient downloadfile to download a file from a remote website. Now I want "protect" downloading so one have to "login" before to download the file. (i.e. I should like it is not possibile to simply type [URL] to download the file and so the downloading is possible only by my VB app.) I "protect" the website by a login page. I try to use webclient.credential(username,password) but the system message is error HTTP 404 (page not found).

recently discovered the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method and would love to use it to download files from a website (https://www...). I can include a username and password in the DownloadFile parameter list,but will it send the password in plain text? If so, is there a way to send an encrypted password?
There seem to be many ways to download files. What are the advantages or typical uses of each?

I have tried using the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method but unfortunately it is slow.
Executing the simple command below takes ~5-10 secs, which I would say is a lot longer than expected for downloading a 9 kb file.`My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.google.dk", "j: emp est.html")

I'm a beginner to Visual Basic, and I made a simple program, however I want to put a 'check update' button in it... It consists of downloading a txt file that contains three numbers, if it match with the version of the program it says 'you already have the most up-to-date version' or else it asks you to download the update and then bring you to the dev blog of the program I made, however, when I download that file, it brings me a blank txt file instead of the one I uploaded into the site. By the way, I'm downloading it through HTTP.

I'm trying to download a file from the internet by clicking a button in MS Access.
I'm trying to use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile as described here: [URL]
Private Sub Command2_Click()
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.example.com/temp/xml_test.xml", "C:xml_test.xml")
End Sub
but the 'Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications' IDE that I'm typing this into seems to have no idea what I'm talking about (text just turns red).
Can I just not do this through the built in VB editor or can I simply load a library or something to make it work?
Sorry but I'm very new to VB and to Access so search results are not specific enough for me to understand - lord knows I've tried.
I'm using Access 2010 but the DB was created in an previous version - not sure if that matters.

I am trying to write a program to download an image at certain time intervals from a website based on a start time, end time and the time interval. I am trying to use 3 timers to accomplish this. I want to be able to kick the program off and leave it running until I stop it. My code seems to work fine if I set the time interval for something like 2 minutes, etc. and sit and watch it, but if I set it for an hour and leave it alone, it gives me almost sporadic results.
I set it to start at 10 pm last night and end at 5 am this morning with an interval of 1 hour. It downloaded an image at 10 pm, 11 pm, 12 am, 1 am, 2 am, and 3 am and then there were no images for 4 and 5 am. I have tried this multiple times with different time spans, and seem to get sporadic results. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Here is my current code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text.Length = 0 Or cmbStartTime.Text.Length = 0 Or cmbEndTime.Text.Length = 0 Or TextBox2.Text.Length = 0 Then
MsgBox("You must select an image destination, start time and time increment.")
Else

I'm automating downloads. I was getting this error quite a bit using Webbrowser to navigate to a PDF (various PDFs at various websites). In other words the PDF was already on display in the browser when I called WebClient.DownloadToFile. I got a LOT better results when I desisted from WebClient and switched to this API (just pass in the two strings along with zeroes for the other parameters).
[Code]...
And yet Webclient seems oriented for only two entries (username and password). How do you set up the credentials for three entries? I hate to abandon WebClient, but at this point I just don't know how to make it work.

The below code for some reason isn't working with filefront. I'm grabbing the URL that returns the file to download but the wc.downloadfile() code doesn't download the file. It creates an empty file called 100.rar in my temp directory on C: but doesn't have any data. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is filefronts redirect messing something up? If I put the URL I get with the fixUrl variable, it pops up the file to download in my internet browser fine.

I'm trying to add a reference to the LAME MP3 encoder in my VB.Net (3.5) App.The DLL I'm using (lame_enc.dll v3.98.2) was downloaded from here:[URL]When I try to add the DLL reference to my project, I get an error:"A reference to C:\Lame_Enc.dll could not be added. make sure this file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component" I would just assume this was a corrupt download/similar but...
The archive passed an integrity test in WinRAR I tried re-downloading it JIC Next thought - the DLL is b0rked but...I've tried the SDK tools "genasm"(3.5) and "TlbExp"(2.0) and both say it's not a valid DLL.Previously when I've added non-.Net DLLs, VS has created an INTEROP Class for me. I'd ideally like to achieve similar with this DLL.

I know that wininet allows for FTP functions and whatnot, but I'm unable to add the .dll to my project. I've downloaded the .dll, and when I go to add it as a reference in my project I get this error message: "Please make sure that the file is still accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component"
I know that I can use my.system.network to upload and download files from/to a server, but I want to be able to get all files and directories on a server, something I cannot do with that. Is there another way to do this that I haven't found?

tell what 'visual' designer was used when developing an existing a VB.net 2008 desktop application? What do I click on to tell what 'visual' designer was used? Also once I know what visual designer was used, can you point me to a url to tell me how to use that visual designer? need to change some of the tables behind an existing desktop application. Basically some of the production tables will be changing. The users want to keep the existing desktop (gui) interface since they like it alot.
