VB.NET Tutorial 30 - Download and Run File (Visual Basic 2008/2010)

[MaxzMoviez]

Er... I can`t download my own files (I mean from MediaFire or something else)... Does somebody knows a site that supports file downloading from links?

Please help, I really need this...

[evanx93]

Is there away to let the user pick a location to save in?

[parkourFLT]

Error :D

[harryjjacobs]

Liverpoool!

[MaxzMoviez]

What if I want to let my program download a file from mediafire? I tried the directlink-link but that didn`t work :(

[WebsiteHackers]

ok i have a question..when you created a file and saved it on your desktop how do you make it run like an application insteed of opening up visual basic again?

[alkajon]

The only thing that bugs me about these tutorials is how he calls parentheses "brackets" lol

[TekTut0rials]

wow someone could make a mean virus out of that lol...

[CombatArmsRuneScape]

Wouldn't it be "new URI" before the download link string?

[michal1337]

The given path's format is not supported.

Lame. :/ Can't create auto-paths. :(

[COOLD111]

how can i fix 'url' is not a valid remote file address. A valid address should include a protocol, a path and a file name.

[Glubschi43]

Wie kann ich das machen das eie Progressbar den Fortschritt anzeigt?

[niels673]

how do i add a progressbar to this code?

[TehMapleDude]

@niels673

if progressbar1.value = 100 then

dim download as new webclient

download = new webclient

download.downloadfileasync(new uri("URL"),("Folder"))

end if

[niels673]

[DarkVirus96ModZ]

@mw2isepic1 use DropBox.com

[XxXDaRkMaRiNeXxX]

@redoowsworld

Add the .exe file extention to end of the download path.

for example:

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFi­le("url", "C:\Test.txt"

' that line of code will save the file as a text file.

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFi­le("url", "C:\Test.exe"

'that line of code will save the file as an executable.

[hiteshbairathi2]

nice.. u gave me the idea for sending keylogger lolz

[hiteshbairathi2]

@hiteshbairathi2 just kidding

[danielnacher]

great thanx

[redoowsworld]

cheers bro, may seem like a noob question but how do i save it as a .exe file?

@MrKingeminem Just drag a tab form from the toolbox and fiddle with your properties of it until it's how you want it.

[MrKingeminem]

I have a request , could you do a video that explains how to do the tabs ( such as firefox ) but in this case tabs in tabs, meaning? form1 = main you have 2 tabs that lead to form2 and 3 form 2 = form 4 -6 form3 = 6- 9 so you have main (tab1)(tab2) if u selected tab2 you have main (tab2)(tab3) (tab4)(tab5)(tab6) and tab 2 has example an EXE ( a game such as dofus )any game in that little page and tab 4 - 5 are the same pages to log in 2 different account ,i hope u can help me , thank you

[BadAssMF509]

@Monaiz1 what the fuck is ur problem just cause ur Mentally retarded and cant answer a fucking little survey dosent mean u can bitch on others u fucking little cunt ass mother fucker come out of the closet

[TheReviex]

@BadAssMF509 Stupid rager, you are probably 12 years, its true, some people cant download from sharecash.

[BadAssMF509]

@TheReviex im 13 MF stupid mofo and u must b the one thats stupid cause u cant do a lil survey to get a download to work ahahah LMFAO

[TheReviex]

@BadAssMF509 Yes i can fill it in, but then i am stuck with a Cell phone abbo, so its not worth it, and go back playing with blocks. You are 13 and think you can program because you understand a little bit VB, lets face eachother in C++, i dare you.

[BadAssMF509]

@TheReviex What the fuck is C++

[TheReviex]

@BadAssMF509

Lol you think you are the king of programming and you dont know C++, fail + you wrote "C+++"

[BadAssMF509]

@TheReviex WTF i never said i was the king of programing ahahha

[VBPrograms]

new error: "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."

the site exists...

[VBPrograms]

in my application, there's an error saying: "Could not complete operation since a file already exists in this path 'C:\Updates to Windalis\2586643.exe'." when it tryes to download

[jjpm1702]

I made an updater but when I try to download the update file I get this error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.

The line code I used:

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFi­le("the DL link it ends with a .exe. it is a direct DL link from drobox and I tried ripway aswell", "C:\downloadedfile.exe") Process.Start("C:\downloadedfi­le.exe")

[BadAssMF509]

is sharecash a direct link



[jjpm1702]

@BadAssMF509 A direct link is as link where no wait time or ad's skips are eneded so something like dropbox public link's are direct or ripway file uplaods are direct.

[battlex94]

any alternatives for ripway(dot)com????

[DrKillaser]

Man... I LOVE YOU.. xD (as a brother... xD)

[dragonster82]

@wood1996mon Hey.. how about REpLACING the old version with the newest version? ;\

[3owndya3]

im trying to update my program with it, but it keeps putting it one dictionary up from where the current file is, and how would you make it overwrite?

[affan546]

while downloading it gives me error that i should be having windows installer 3.1 or service pack 3 what the heck is this ????///any solution for this

[dragonster82]

@wood1996mon Thnx, really was what i wanted

[dragonster82]

The best direct link is dropbox

[ExentricGaming]

great tutorials mate :)

[mchosu]

is there a code that makes the site url in brackets generate the site that you have written in textbox1 ?

[RipplEsoftware]

@mchosu You would instead of putting "URL", "C:/DownloadedFiles" - You would use - "TextBox1.Text", "C:/DownloadedFiles"

[1c3y10]

i keep gettin webexeception was unhandled

[Olemassacre]

Hey man. Can you please make a tutorial on how to find a file? Like when a program loads, it is going to look for a patch?

[iphone4life4]

how can i make it so that u can trun off your pc and then resume it thx veryyyyyyyyy

much i neeeeeeeeed it thx

[carstorm85]

Three Questions:

1 how would you have it check to see if a url exists such as "website. com/update-true" or website. com/update-false" so you can only update when needed.

2 Must it be an exe file or can it be a txt or gif or even a folder.

3 Also could you omit the second line to have it download the file without automatically starting it!

[1mgonnadie]

@carstorm85

1 - Use Try, Catch for this. Example:

Try

[Code here]

Catch

End try

2 - You can download any file from the internet, but not a folder.

3 - Yes you can remove the line. Derr.

[carstorm85]

@1mgonnadie thank you

[ItalianAssassin95]

Hello, I know this has nothing to do with this video, but i'll ask you a question if you don't mind.... Visual Basic Express edition, how much did you pay for it? On the internet it is $700+!!! please help me! I don't think you payed that much for yours? or did you?

[123kirby]

@ItalianAssassin95 Hint: VB2010 express.

[coms758]

@ItalianAssassin95 Visual Basic Express Editions are free. Professional aren't.

[ShayAxelod22]

AWESOME!!!! THANKS PAL

[TDJP123]

does this overwrite the file that has the same name?

[MrE3stw00d]

Imports system.net

dim download as new webclient

download = new webclient

download.downloadfileasync(new uri(textbox1.text),(savefiledi­alog1.filename))

Much better code

[TheProgrammerChris]

works but you have to do the path thtat it saves to as a public path

[StaticABC]

How would I get the download percentage from this?

[VizaMx]

[TechHelp270]

Your from the Uk aint ya.

[LamsasukeMedia]

@TechHelp270 ye from Liver...pool lol

[TeachMeComputer]

Yes you can

[dragonster82]

@TeachMeComputer How about downloading the update file IN the folder the current program is getting executed from

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

It wont start it right away, when you press the button because it's gonna take time no matter what to download the file first.

That's why I'd use a timer to wait for a period of time then, start the process.

Like I said, it depends on your connection speed, and how large the file is. Then it can start the Executable.

[TeachMeComputer]

The process.start code will not be executed until the file has downloaded anyway.

[st1zHacking]

@UserIsAnFBIAgent what code do u use for the timer to start when it is downloaded? Please send me a PM

[swehunter2000]

what file is the application supposed to download so it updates it self?

[TeachMeComputer]

@swehunter2000

Well I haven't taught you guys how to read text on a web page but let's say your application version is 1.0.0.0 and you make a text file that is 1.0.0.1, you can say that if current version < text from text file then download new file.

It's hard to understand right now, but just wait for the next few tutorials.

[swehunter2000]

@TeachMeComputer no i understand what you mean but what file is it supposed to download? there are application file setup etc. in the publish folder..

[TeachMeComputer]

@swehunter2000

Oh, you want to get your applications exe? Go to Build at the top and build your application. Then, go to your projects folder and select the project, then follow this route:

\bin\Release

And your .exe will be there :)

[swehunter2000]

@TeachMeComputer so that is so too say the "update file"?

[swehunter2000]

@TeachMeComputer i need to be able to update my OS GUI
