I am writing an application which downloads files from an extenal website and saves them to disk. I am able to achieve this by using the System.Net.WebClient method as follows:Dim web As New System .Net. WebClientweb.DownloadFile(strURL, strFileName)I now need to direct the download through a proxy server. I have seen various posts which use the HttpWebRequest method but have not been able to get them to work.
Does anyone have some sample code to download a file through a proxy server using VB.Net and .Net 1.1?
I usually download file using following code:My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("url of the file","filepath to save the file")But recently I encountered a site that only allow file download if you click it from its site and not via direct downloading from vb.net code.How to download file from http server that requires a referral before allowing the download?

I'm making a application to use in college to retrieve my calendar and other things in VB.NET. But my college uses a proxy so when I connect my laptop I need to change the internet settings in my web browser to view web pages. how I would send requests via a proxy server in VB.NET? Or is there a piece of software that I can download which tunnels all connections or is there a setting in win7 does this?
I'd like to set the proxy for a web request. However, when I say, for example, request.proxy = "x.x.x.x:xxxxx", it gives me the error "String cannot be converted to webproxy". How can I get around this and actually set the proxy?
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?
Dim w_req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://blah.blah.blah/blah.html"), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
I have created a application in vb.net.

Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?
I have been trying to generate a Proxy class in VB.NET using a WSDL file for an Apache Axis SOAP Web Service. They have provided me the WSDL file and when I use the WSDL.exe command (In Visual Studio 08) and point it to the local path I get an error. wsdl /language:vb c:Orders.wsdl (I am trying to create a .NET Client that consumes the SOAP Web Service Hosted on Apache Axis 2)

I need to open an excel file from vb.net and then search it for specific data. I then need to take those data and insert them into text boxes on a form that i have created. This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.
Iīm working in a application where I receive a .htm file, but I need convert it to a excel 2003 file

I have built a small concentration game for my grandaughter. When she finds matches I would like to play a .wav cheer. I can't figure out how to make a .wav file play in VS2003. I know there's got to be a way, but haven't found anyone who knows.
I have to load a data-file (articledata.txt) which is then being used into different other excels which filter out the needed data. After X hours the data-file will be updated, so now I'd like to inform the user that newer data is available (so they can refresh the excels).
I would think I can use the time-stamp of the file when I load it, save it, and then compare it (every X time?) with the time-stamp of the data-file to see whether it has been updated, but I have no idea how to get the timestamp out of the file.
The first thing to do is to browse the excel file in my vb.net program then read the content of excel file and display the value of excel content in listview.
I'm programming a small windows app that allows the user to fill out some fields and then creates and runs a batch file based on their entries. The program works, but it doesn't.The program creates the batch file just fine but when it tries to run the batch file, it gets errors in the cmd window saying it cannot find the scripts the batch file is trying to call. What's confusing me is that if I take the batch file the program created and run it myself, it works just fine so I know it is not the batch that is the problem. My best guess is that there is some security setting for vs.net that I've overlooked but I am only an "every once in a while" programmer so I really don't know where to look. Additionally after running the batch, the program is supposed to delete the batch file but that fails as well with the message that it cannot find the batch file, the same batch file that it had just created and run.

How can I save or convert a word 2003 file to PDF format?Is there a way that i can save a doc file to PDF format through vb.net?I try to use : "office.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF" but didn't work.
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.
i made downloader that will display the following items to the user. The Name of the file that the user is downloading The Url Were the file is being saved The Size of the file The speed at which the file is being downloaded And the Status. But the Problem is that the downloader can only download one file at a time. How can i make a multiple file downloader Which if the user wants to download 2 or 23 files he can.
I did not do anything at all but I just noticed that my 2005 solution files are defaulted to 2003 so I used "Open With" and ticked the "Always use this program..." and selected the 2005 even and it is now being opened with 2005 but somehow the icon still shows the 2003 icon, why is this and is there anything I can do to revert it back to the 2005 icon?
The only thing I did was to download and install the latest BOL of SQL Server 2000 which I am not sure if it affected any setting for VS. EDIT: "Restore File Association" did not do the trick.
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.
