    DownloadStringAsync DownloadStringCompleted issue

    I want to download a file in Silverlight. It works in normal VB just fine:
    VB-Download Code:
    1. Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    2.         Dim wclient As Net.WebClient = New Net.WebClient()
    3.         AddHandler wclient.DownloadStringCompleted, AddressOf ListDownloaded
    4.         wclient.DownloadStringAsync(New Uri("blablabla.txt"))
    5.     End Sub
    6.     Private Sub ListDownloaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Net.DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs)
    7.         MessageBox.Show(e.Result)
    8.     End Sub

    But in Silverlight VB...

    Silverlight-Download Code:
    1. Private Sub ListDownloaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Net.DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs)
    2.         MessageBox.Show(e.Result)
    3.     End Sub
    4.     Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    5.         Dim wclient As Net.WebClient = New Net.WebClient()
    6.         AddHandler wclient.DownloadStringCompleted, AddressOf ListDownloaded
    7.         wclient.DownloadStringAsync(New Uri("blablabla.txt"))
    8.     End Sub

    It utterly fails. At the bottom of Firefox it SAYS the file is downloading, but NOTHING happens other than that...

    HELP!
