Winston Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Hey guys how do you program to download a file from a website, i'm trying to make a download manager, so that once the the http address is provided it will use this and download it. I'm doing this in VB.NET Quote
hog Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Not sure if this is the answer you need but can't you provide a LinkLabel to the file which requires downloading? This way when the user clicks on the link the download should start Quote My website

Have a look there - the code is pretty straight forward.
