How to download a file in .NET using iNET control?

[_RIP_DREAMS]

how do i download a file...? it's a image...

 

[ChiefRedBull]

Dim bImage() As Byte

' get the binary data
bImage = Inet1.OpenURL("URL")

' save it to file
Open "c:\windows\desktop\temp_image.dat" For Binary As #1
  Put #1, , bImage
Close #1

That works in VB6, but it should be the same (or very similar) for .NET (I hope )

nop vb.net doesnt support that otherwise i could have done that easely...

You should not be using the Inet Control in .NET. There is absolutely no need for it. Look at the System.Web namespace instead.

Don't use it. There are new methods to do what you achieve in .NET, and you do not get a license to use that control with the .NET framework.

Try checking out the HttpRequest and HttpResponse classes, or possibly the System.Net.Sockets namespace if you'd rather do it manually.
