View 1 RepliesI am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"

I've got a code in VB that will download a txt file from a website. The problem is I want this file to be downloaded into whatever folder that my program is in. for example, if my program was in C:
andom_folder then I would want this txt file downloaded to C:
andom_folder
Here is some of my
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile _
("http://www.mywebsite.com/test.txt", _
"define where file should go here")
But in the spot to put where to place the file, I can't just put C:andom_folder because individual users may have this program installed in other parts of there computer.

I'm trying to save this picture from a website automatically, but the problem is there is no file extension. I tried the following code, but it always gives me an error:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/2/PNG/", "C:PNG.bmp")
End Sub
Error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.
P.S - I believe the reason it doesn't have an extension is because the picture changes each time the url is loaded (probably through a php code). I'm not too sure on the specifics, but the lack of an extension is what I am having problems with.
VS 2008 SP1 I am using the web client to download a file. Which works ok.However, now I have to download many and the number of files to download will change everyday.I am not sure how I can get the web client to know which files have been downloaded or not? I was thinking of using a for loop to download each file. But I will never know how many there are to download?The web client could download the same file twice?
Private Sub btnStartDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
