How to download files or information from within your app

by  skiflyer  Posted    (Edited  )
In .NET it's incredibly easy to download files from within your application.

The function takes a file name, a url, and a destination directory, and downloads the file from the URL to the destination.

Code: 
Public Sub GetPackage(ByVal sFile As String, ByVal destination As String, ByVal sRemoteUrl As String)
  Dim wc As New Net.WebClient()
  Try
    wc.DownloadFile(sRemoteUrl + sFile, destination + "\\" + sFile)
  Catch
    MsgBox("Unable to download file " + sRemoteUrl + sFile)
  End Try
End Sub


Good luck and enjoy.
