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 am trying to creating a windows application that can automatically sign into a website and download a file. I have managed to get it to sign in and reach the file, however a windows pop up box appears asking if you want to open or save the file and then specify a location. How can I automate this part?
Basically I want to schedule this to run each morning and download the file without any manual intervention.

I want to make an application that's pretty much all server side. I have everything sorted, apart from downloading images from my server. I have a listbox containing all the game names, in this format.
pacman
rallyx
mspacman
asteroids
There are many more, that's just an example.
Each game name is stored as a folder on my server. Inside those folders is the games boxart, called boxart.png. What I want to do is make an application that makes those folders and downloads the images. I have made the "create a folder for each game name" code already, now I just need to add another line or two to download the image inside those created folders.

View 3 RepliesI'm using a FileUpload control in a website which should only be able to upload images. To that end, I'm checking its MIME type before accepting the upload.Does anyone know whether the FileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType property comes from the file itself or the request? The latter is insecure, since the request can be spoofed. If that's the case, does anyone know a good way to validate a file securely?
View 3 RepliesI'm BRAND NEW to programming, and I'm starting to learn VB. I need to write a program that views images on a website that are organized. I have 2 textboxes in which you enter variables which affect the URL. It doesn't load anything though when I enter values into the textboxes. Here is the
Dim shoot As String
a = TextBox1.Text
Dim pic As String
b = TextBox2.Text

Also, i want to be able to enter something else in the textboxes and be able to press the button again to load the new image
What Im making is like a face book and tagged login from my app
1. I have Combobox with 3 urls in there ( Facebook.com Tagged.com and Bebo.com )
2. I have a Form2 with webbrowser
3. I have a Button when clicked it should open up my form 2 and preview of the website which I selected in my combobox in form1
All I'm trying to do is when I select lets say facebook in my form 1 and click load it should open up my form 2 with facebook website in it.[code]Now when I click my button in form 1 it will load Form2 ( named Explorer1) but my form2 is not showing me facebook or tagged page for some reason
What I want is: To scan a website every 15 mins or so, (craigslist in this case), and email myself any new posts that come up. I know I need to use WebClient, but I never used that before. Another question would be how to only email when a new post is up and not receive the same email every 15 mins.
View 2 RepliesThe app i am working on is for creating theme for the iPod touch... It has to deal with LOTS of images (100's potentially) There will be the set of default images, and then the user created replacement images. I started loading all the defaults into a resx file... thinking then I could just pull them out. now that I started setting the default, this sucks! lol the app will do this, on load it will set all the images (variables) to the resx images then when a theme is loaded, it will replace the default with the user image (if the user img exists) otherwise, the default stays. Then the "screen" is drawn to show the user. so, here is just the images to build the wallpaper, dock, and status bar...

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)
Dim client As New WebClient()
AddHandler client.DownloadProgressChanged, AddressOf client_DownloadProgressChanged

View 9 RepliesI'm downloading a file asynchronously so that it doesn't stall the UI. I'm using a very basic WebClient and calling .DownloadFileAsync.The file I'm downloading is required for additional tasks after it has been downloaded. The issue that I'm running into is that, since the file is being downloaded on another thread, execution on the main thread continues while the file hasn't finished downloading.Is there any way to pause execution while the file is being downloaded? Or is there a better method?

View 10 RepliesI'm downloading a page and stripping out the HTML. I actually stripped out everything successfully, but there is something weird with the "<br />" tag..
When I try to replace <br />, I can't detect it..
Unlike other HTML tags such as <br> and such, <br /> does not show up as a text in my TextBox.. it shows up as a BOX and messes up the whole formatting.Does anybody know how I can go about removing the boxes from my textbox?
The idea is to scan a folder of images and then let the user navigate back and forth through the images using a couple of buttons.The problem is, I can only get it to return a single image, and not the whole lot. It's looks to me as though the images are getting assigned to the same index in the array. [code]
