if I had the full path of a .swf file on a website: eg [URL]
I'd have the webbrowser1 navigate to the address as shown before.
Then i'd like to webbrowser to download the file, in compatibility with a savefiledialog.
I am trying to download a zip file(which contains 4 text files) from a secure website and getting html page in return. If I do it manually I get the zip file. I am using visual basic express. I am very new to .net programing. why I am getting html page instead of the zip file. The manual process is to login, click ebill tab and select the month from list and click download button, which then open up the save dialog box with the zip file name.

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'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 3 RepliesI was wondering if there was anyway to 'scan' page sources of websites and download only certain files based on their extensions, as you would by going to view -> page source in a web browser? Then, saving, perhaps, a .pdf, or a .swf file? I really don't know where to start.
View 6 RepliesI'd like to convert a VB6 application to .Net. It downloads multiple files at once and the progress is shown in a Listview. I'm using the Winsock control in a Usercontrol. Every time I start a new download a new instance of the Usercontrol is loaded. This way I can easily download 25 files at once with very low CPU usage.
I looked into the WebClient Class to download the files, but I noticed it only downloads two files at a time. Other downloads won't start unless one of the first two downloads are finished, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
1) What's the best way to download dozens of files at once? It must be possible to resume the downloads.
2) How do I keep the downloads apart (index number?), so the Listview can be updated accordingly? I don't need help with the Listview itself.
3) Should I use the Backgroundworker or not?
I'm using a WebClient to download a bunch of small files from a website, but doing them one at a time takes a long time, approximately 20-30 minutes for all of them. Is there a way to download multiple files simultaneously, to shorten the time it takes?

I'm looking into creating a program which will on program opening connect to a remote mysql database, download the data and store the data into a local file (keeping both in sync is the idea).
Getting a connection to the remote database is my first hurdle, and i'm not suceeding, i know i need to read through more info but if i could get this working it would help me tremendously.
I have attempted to connect using the mysql connector, using the server IP and port number ie. 199.002.999.000:3306 but it doesnt connect, it does connect locally ie. localhost but for some reason it won't connect to the remote server.
My other problem is that i cannot control the mysql server, i.e connections allowed remote etc, i think they're just enabled to accept connections from the server.
Is there a way to run a hidden browser script behind the scenes, download and run the file? I've tried looking for possible ways to acheive this, but have come up trumps so far.

View 13 RepliesI was trying to use application.restart() to restart my application after downloading a new update. It seems to run into the problem where it is trying to start the new application before the original is closed so it errors out and never starts. After reading through some threads here I determined the better way to handle it would be
application.exit() process.start(application.executablepath) This didn't work and gave me what seems to be the same problem. I would also like to note this works fine when running the application through visual studios, it is only when I try to run this independent of VS2010 that the application never restarts.

What I am wanting to do is create a program that will load up a page (it is password protected) and get the links out of any files that I need to download. The green text is the text that contains the link and will be repeated for every file.One little thing is that there are multiple pages that are accessed through JavaScript with the code highlighted in red. So, I also need to step through the pages and get a list of all files on subsequent pages.
Everytime I run this program, it will get a list of all files and only download the ones that aren't already downloaded. However, I have never done this before and was wondering what I need.I have accessed the source of pages and parsed it for things like links before, but not sure if that is the optimal way or if there is some other way to handle this particular situation easier, especially since I have multiple pages to deal with and JavaScript.
Let's say I'm trying to have a program that will check for a version.txt file online, and enable the user to download a new version of my .exe.Here is an example of how i get the new version. I apologize for the old syntax, but i just got out of VB6 and am still learning FileStream, etc. Inetconnection is just a function similar to Webclient.DownloadData.
DABytes = InetConnection(Pathy)
Targetfolder = Application.StartupPath & "DA.exe"
foldera = FreeFile()

I have been searching for quite some time, and while this might be easier than I am making it, but this is the first time I have tried to do something like this. My issue is that I am creating a pdf and need to include am image that I have to download from a dynamic URL. The issue I am having is how do I get the image saved to a file on our server? As far as I have seen, there is not a way to directly put in the image into the pdf - but if you know a way to do this, that might work instead.
