Question

When I use:

  WebClient web = new WebClient();
  web.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChangedWeb);
  web.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.website.com/Webs.exe"),
                            Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop + @"\Webs.exe");

…Nothing downloads.

But if i change it to”

  WebClient web = new WebClient();
  web.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChangedWeb);
  web.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.website.com/Webs.exe"),
                            Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop + "Webs.exe");

Then It downloads, but I get a file named “desktopWebs.exe”. So How can I save a file to the desktop?

Thanks

What you want is this…

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + @"\Webs.exe";

Otherwise you are just tacking on the word desktop instead of the actual path.
