Thread: Freezing When Download

Hi,

I made a program and when i'm downloading the file, the program freeze, what do i have to do?

I'm newbie!

PHP Code:

string url = "http://mysite.com.br/test.mst";
            string destino = "C:\\Programas\\teste.mst";
            System.Net.WebClient Client = new System.Net.WebClient();
            Client.DownloadFile(url, destino); 


1 - That looks like C#. Moved.
2 - The boards been slow, so that's probably the case.

Your post count is zero, despite the fact that you have one post in this thread. I screwed something up while deleting the duplicate thread which caused your post count to be decremented twice.

You are right in bouth

But continuing.. How can helps me?

And the file is to small (20kb)

i have search all google already but didn't found anything that may fix that problem.

Anybody know what could be freezing the program when it's downloading the file?

I have tried recreating your "freezing" problem using the DownloadFile method. I did not have any success recreating the problem. The method was tested with several source sites and file sizes ranging from 18K to 14meg.

IMHO, it may be that your source site is extremely slow or it has some other downloading issues. Or you possibly have coding issues. I can only assume that you have properly used a separate thread for the downloading process in a GUI app.

Bottomline, DownloadFile works flawlessly for me.

the file i'm trying to download has 1.7mb!
I tried downloading another file from another site and it freezes again.

Please, can u post your 'creation'?

My "creation" works like a charm... It may be possible your GUI code has threading issues. Thus, causing the "freeze" problem.

Code:

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Collections;

class Class1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        string url =   "http://mysite.com/haha.mst"; 
        string destino = "C:\\temp\\test.mst"; 
        try
        {
            WebClient client = new WebClient ();
            client.DownloadFile(url, destino); 
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }
}
