C# Updater (Using Webclient)

Kassem Sandarusi

What I wanna know is how would I use the WebClient object to download files to a possibly nonexistent directory automatically?

like for instance:

 WebClient downloader = new WebClient();

downloader.DownloadFileASync(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1/Updates/Data/dlme.txt"), "/Data/dlme.txt"); // Second argument needs help.

I was wondering how I would be able to download to the /Data directory even though it may be nonexistent... would I have to go through a lengthy process or what?

System.Net.WebClient wc = new WebClient();
String sUrl = "http://webserverip/Updates/Data/dlme.txt"

WebProxy wp = new WebProxy(your proxy);
wc.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName,Password,Domain);
wc.DownloadFile(sUrl, "D:\\Files");
wp = null;
wc = null;

using filesystem object check folder/directory exist or not... and then do your code
