Question

I need to automate downloading of a file from this site http://stats.smith.com/reports/Default.aspx using C#. The problem is that a web-form needs to be submitted first then the download takes place immediately. I can simulate the web form submit and the buttom clicks. However, once the form is submitted I don’t know how to capture requested file. There is no redirection to the uri of the downloaded file. If there was I would have used function download(uri, filename) in webclient or webbrowser.

Answer 1

If you use the WebRequest Class you can receive the response and save it as a file.
