IE Post for HEADBANGER

Didn't know where you post went but i just can't find it. Here is the code as promised, sos about the delay - bank holiday and all that.

Friend Sub GetText(ByVal URL As String)
Try
Dim download As cDownload = New cDownload(URL, "Text")
download.downloadfile()
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

That calls the following class
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net

Public Class cDownload
Private ReadOnly sURL As String
Private ReadOnly sFileName As String

Public Sub New(ByVal url As String, ByVal Type As String)
'Requires full qualified path
Me.sURL = url
Select Case Type
Case "Image"
Me.sFileName = Application.StartupPath & "\image.gif"
Case "Text"
Me.sFileName = Application.StartupPath & "\DownloadedWebPage.htm"
End Select

End Sub

Public Sub downloadfile()
Dim myClient As WebClient = New WebClient()
Dim Done As Boolean = False
While (Not Done)
Try
'delete exisiting file if it exists
If (File.Exists(sFileName)) Then
File.Delete(sFileName)
End If
myClient.DownloadFile(sURL, sFileName)
Done = True
Catch ex As Exception
Done = True
End Try
End While

End Sub

End Class

Enjoy!
