Jul 30, 2009I 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 13 RepliesVS 2008 Wait For File To Finish Downloading
Apr 4, 2010I'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?

Jun 29, 2010I'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.
View 10 RepliesVS 2008 - My.Settings File - Specify The Location For User.config File
Jan 3, 2010I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?

VS 2008 Copy A File To A Predetermined Location?
Apr 18, 2009What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.
VS 2008 Round E.Location To Nearest Grid Square Location?
Nov 9, 2009I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

File Overwrite - Downloading The Updated Version Of The File Running
Nov 8, 2010I 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"

Downloading A File In VB?
Sep 20, 2009I'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.

Downloading File Without Extension?
Jan 17, 2010I'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.
