[2008] httpwrapper help

[iace]

ok so i would like to have a key on my program
i thought using httpwrapper to load a file from my site would be best cuz i chould change the key when i want but i dont know how to use httpwrapper fully any help?

If you want to download a file from a website, that is pretty easy, just use the WebClient:

        Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient
        wc.DownloadFile("http://example.com/filename.txt", "C:\Temp\file.txt")

Now using that for a key on your program can cause you headaches. What if the user doesn't have an internet connection when they start your app?

ok that works but now how would i make the code to read the file

if textbox1.text = (iunno this part) Then
form2.show
me.close
EndIf

if that how it would be?

textbox1.text = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\Temp\file.txt")

i get an error is it because my i uploaded it with an FTP thing?

Make sure you put the HTTP:// in front of your URL, also, check the response property of the exception to see why it failed.

Try something like this:

        Dim wr As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.evolutiongaming.co.cc/flp/key1.txt"), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
        wr.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2"
        Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(wr.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
        Dim read(256) As Char
        Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream())

        sr.Read(read, 0, 256)
        TextBox1.Text = New String(read, 0, 256)

kay so i think it works i got no errors but how will it open form2

You need to build the code in to do that. So if you want to show form 2 after form 1 based on some condition, you will need to build the if statement and then declare an object as type Form2 and then show it.

If TextBox1.Text = New String(read, 0, 256) then
