Question

I have been working on this application that enables user to log in into another website, and then download specified file from that server. So far I have succeeded in logging on the website and download the file. But everything ruins when it comes to zip files.

Is there any chunk of code that could be helpful in reading the .zip files byte by byte or by using stream reader?

I m using downloadfile() but its not returning the correct zip file.

I need a method by which I can read zip files. Can I do it by using ByteReader()

The code used to download zip file is

string filename = "13572_BranchInformationReport_2012-05-22.zip";
            string filepath = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\" + filename.ToString();
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            string user = "abcd", pass = "password";
            client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
            client.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
            try
            {
                client.DownloadFile("https://web.site/archive/13572_BranchInformationReport_2012-05-22.zip", filepath);
                Response.Write("Success");
            }
            catch (Exception ue)
            {
                Response.Write(ue.Message);
            }

Thanks in advance.

Your answer

WebRequest objRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
using (Stream input = objResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (FileStream output = new FileStream ("test.doc",
FileMode.CreateNew))
{
int bytesRead;

while ( (bytesRead=input.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
output.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
} 

This is how i achieved it. Thanks everyone for ur help
