Download file using C#.
Introduction
This article describes code to download a file using C#...
Background
While browsing forums today I came across a question which asked for a solution to download a file from a web server programmatically. The solution is very simple and
below is the code which achieves the goal. Here I am downloading a file asynchronously on Button Click.
Using the code
Hide Copy Code
privatevoidbuttonDownloadFile_Click(objectsender,EventArgse)
{
stringurl=@"http://www.thereforesystems.com/wpcontent/uploads/2008/08/image35.png";
//CreateaninstanceofWebClient
WebClientclient=newWebClient();
//HookupDownloadFileCompletedEvent
client.DownloadFileCompleted+=newAsyncCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadFileCompleted);
//Startthedownloadandcopythefiletoc:\temp
client.DownloadFileAsync(newUri(url),@"c:\temp\image35.png");
}
voidclient_DownloadFileCompleted(objectsender,AsyncCompletedEventArgse)
{
MessageBox.Show("Filedownloaded");
}
You can also download the file synchronously using WebClient.DownloadFile() method.
