Download A File With A Download Timeout?

Feb 4, 2010

I want to download thousands of files from the web and save them locally. What is the most efficient way? It is important the failures timeout within 10 seconds.

Is there a better way to stream one stream into another? Maybe a smaller buffer, like 1024 bytes at a time, is more efficient for large files?

Start Explorer.exe - Switching To A New Desktop It Starts A New Instance Of App In That Desktop?

Sep 5, 2011

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

Use The WebBrowserControl To Download A Program Generated PDF File Without The File Save As Dialog

Sep 15, 2011

I am writing a Windows Form program to automatically download and store generated PDF reports from a web site using the WebBrowser Control. The web site uses Ajax to link an icon back to the source aspx file which then returns a PDF file.

The problem I have is that the WebBrowser control brings up the File Save As dialog box when the PDF file is returned and I can find no way of handling this to cature and save the returned file. I have found other examples of how to manage this using the Navagating event to validate the extension of the file that is being accessed (e.g. [URL] and, if not an HTM, file then use the HTTP Web control to directly download the file. Unfortunately this will not work as the call references a .aspx page.

Creating Download Link To A File On A File Server

Oct 11, 2011

I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.

Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.

Create A File On The User's Desktop

Mar 4, 2011

As part of a program for class we were instructed to create a text file on the user's computer. The instructions were to create the file to the C: (or the same drive as the Windows directory) but Windows7 requires Admin privileges to write to this directory. It works great if I run Visual Studio as admin, but I'd rather just write to an unrestricted area. For example the desktop. Is there a way to write directly to the user's desktop without knowing the user's username. Right now I'm using this "c:UsersNickDesktopScores.txt"; which works but of course the user's name is different on every machine. How would I go about specifying the user's desktop?

VS 2005 - File Being Writen To The Desktop?

Oct 13, 2009

I have the following code :

sw = New StreamWriter("scanner.txt")
sw.WriteLine("TEST")
sw.Close()

This code should write the txt file to the folder my exe is in. This is the case on hundereds of different machines.

However I have just found out that on one machine my code always writes the files to the desktop and expects to read from the desktop. I am going to change my code so it looks specifically for the application folder but I still dont get why this is happening on one machine and not on all the others.

Universally Save A File To Desktop Location Across Different OS's?

Aug 7, 2010

I'm new to this forum and new to programming (literally just a week or so). I'm trying to write a program that uses a combo box selection accompanied with a button that when pressed, will download a file off a website, save it to my desktop and the run itself.[code]The thing I want my code to do is to universally be able to save the file to the desktop of any windows OS a user may be using. I'm going to end up having people using XP, Vista and Win7 use this application and each of those I believe have a different root to reach the desktop. Instead of having to hard code each and every scenario, there must be an easier way, right?Can you guys help me figure out what the syntax is for getting the users windows username and desktop location so that no matter what OS they're using, the file will always be downloaded to their desktop?
