This program will let you download a file both ways i.e. Synchronously and Asynchronously. Just feed the file URL into the first text-box and the save file location into the second text-box Then simply choose from the two options to download the file from the internet.
There is also a progress indicator that shows the download progress. See code below:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Net;
namespace Download_File_from_Internet
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnPaste_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtPaste.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
}
private void btnLocation_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
saveFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (saveFileDialog.FileName != "")
{
txtLocation.Text =
saveFileDialog.FileName;
}
}
private void btnSyncDwnld_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile(txtPaste.Text, txtLocation.Text);
//webClient.Dispose();
}
private void btnAsyncDwnld_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFileCompleted +=
Download_Completed;
webClient.DownloadProgressChanged
+= Download_ProgressChanged;
webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(txtPaste.Text),
txtLocation.Text);
//webClient.Dispose();
}
private void Download_ProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
progressBar.Value =
e.ProgressPercentage;
}
private void Download_Completed(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download
completed!");
}
}
}
