myWebClient.DownloadFile Question

[Dave]

I'm trying to download a file from the Web Server to the user's
desktop using myWebClient.DownloadFile as described by Microsoft at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ez801hhe.aspx.

2 Questions:

1.) Is this the best approach?
2.) Is there a way to have the default download location as the
User's Desktop?

Thanks

The second argument to DownloadFile is the local destination, which can be a
full path. In the example they only specified a file in the working
directory. You should specify a file using
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), as part of the
full path.

To answer question 1, it is certainly the simplest to impliment.
