works great. &nbsp;Is there any way to verify that the file has been successfully downloaded (other than checking to see if the file exists - that might not mean the whole file was downloaded)? &nbsp;<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to download a file via HTTP, instead of FTP, because of port 21 blocking issues. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The file will be stored on either a Linux or Windows web server. &nbsp;It is an executible file. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What is the best way to download and save this file from the web using visual basic dot net? &nbsp;I do not want to have to add or purchase any special components. &nbsp;Was looking into binaryreaders or the httpwebrequest class - cant seem to find a solution, but I know it has to be out there.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Download a file using http in visual basic dot net

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
