Hi,

I found a very good site where you can find not only the explanation but also some examples. Try them:

http://search.microsoft.com/search/r...&c=4&s=1&swc=4

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

Hope it helps,

hmm
why didnt i come across that in my local msdn?
thanx i think it will do but it would still be easier if some1 just posted the clear cut example on how to download a file

Hi again,

I found in the same MSDN site a download Method;

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...SV01034331.asp

May I give you also an advise, there are a lot of very good developers who wants to help people with programming problems on this forum! But the only thing they want is that you try at least something and let them see your example code. Otherwise you never going to learn it, because for them it's easy and for you it's just copy and paste!
I'm still learning but not with the copy and paste method!

So try something and show us!

Wkr,

hey man i tried something but i am having trouble it is not doing anything after the socket.recieve line
here is the code:

Private Sub download()
Dim ip As New Net.IPEndPoint(Net.Dns.Resolve("www.google.com").AddressList(0), 80)
Dim ascii As New ASCIIEncoding
Dim ane As Net.EndPoint
Socket.Connect(ip)
Dim request As String = "GET / HTTP/1.1" + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf + "Host: " + "www.google.com" + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf + "Connection: Close" + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf
Dim bytesSent As [Byte]() = ascii.GetBytes(request)
Dim bytesReceived(255) As [Byte]
Dim bytes As Int32
Dim page As [String] = "Default HTML page on www.google.com" + ":" + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf
Do
bytes = Socket.Receive(bytesReceived, bytesReceived.Length, 0)
page = page + ascii.GetString(bytesReceived, 0, bytes)
Loop While bytes > 0
MsgBox(page)
End Sub
