Download Button Help

I have an application based on web references:

my application is like

ComboBox > ListBox1 > ListBox2 > ListBox3 > CheckedListBox ---> Download Button


till here everything fine ..

Now I need to help for download button to be coded [dwbtn] but download should use the Form1 only with progressbar as well a Label to show the status of a file for downloading. where as I have used CheckedListBox to get the files .. I want to use ListView so that I get Files Size and Type .. Please Help

well, how are you going to go about downloading a file? are you going to be using WebClient? Are you going to be using a TCP stream to download the file? some 3rd party tool?

There are certain things which you can and cannot obtain (things like size/type etc...) as you do not generaly obtain these correctly until the file has fully downloaded. The header may show a file of x size but in an actual fact it is of y size.

is this going to be an FTP client? Http client? you need to think about these or explain in more depth your approach :)

yes, webClient is to be going to use for downloadinf file

Please Gurus Help me ...

here I want to use main form for downloaing file but I get error that showdialogbox can not used on the same form

Doesn't MessageBox.Show() work like this?

vb.net Code:

MessageBox.Show("Hello World!", "Dialog Box Title", vbYesNo,~)

and so forth?
You shouldn't be passing the first parameter "Me". I believe that only is for when you are calling the P/Invoke function which shows a dialog box.

I'm not sure though since I haven't worked in .NET for a couple of months now.

Ok , it is possible that if we select only path and then save and show file download status with progressbar on the same form

OK Removed : Now If here this way we select path by using [Browsebtn] inorder to select the path and then savedialog will be used for download button.

its not clear what you are wanting to do. you do realise you cannot use a save dialog button to point to a server correct?

did you read the documentation about savedialog? if not - I suggest you start from here:

Take a look at this on how to download a file using WebClient which also raises events to tell you the download progress:

Sorry!

well yes janu. code wont just be given all the time. you wont learn anything if you dont try or at least post the attempts you have tried with code snippets and any erros that have occured. we are all trying to help but you dont seem to be acknowledging this.

you also did not answer the question. The fact that you already had the code in place.... how were you able to test it? you cant test it or implement the code if you dont have an entry point (i.e download file)

I wish you well in finding this out :)

yes I can use Form2 to perform the download task with StatusLabel , Progressbar and cancel download button ... but my aim is to use the form1 only to complete the whole task...

actually I have this code when we click on download button (dwbtn) form2 open and file starts downloading .. I by your help want to perform whole task on form1

how to use Form1 instead of Form2 for download task also
