WebBrowser Object - Respond to File Download/Save As Windows

Hello everyone,

I am writting a Windows Form application (C# .NET 2.0 using VS 2008) that uses a WebBrowser object to navigate to various web pages, to do some automation for certain tasks. One of the tasks I need to do is to download files, where I click on a link and save a report to my hard drive (or a folder on the network).

I can programically click the link to start the download, but I have no idea how to repond to the 'File Download' and 'Save As' windows, to actually download the file.

Any ideas or suggestions would really be appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Instead of clicking the link try to extract the link and call this methode..

Code:

---

public void DownloadFile(String sFileUrl, String destination, String sFileName)
        {
            System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
            try
            {

                wc.DownloadFile(sFileUrl, destination + "\\" + sFileName);
                MessageBox.Show("Download succesvol");
            }
            catch
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Unable to download file " + sFileUrl );
            }
        }

Thanks for the reply kristof1104.

I took another look at the webpage that has the link to download the report. I just now realised is that the link does not point to a specific filename, but to a javascript function in the page. From what I can tell, the function resumits the same page to itself.

Anyone have any recommendations on how I might be able to proceed?
