Implementing a Custom Download Manager and Integerating it with IE

JP
Hi List,

I am trying to create an application which is a Download Manager. I
want this to be attached to the IE so if user clicks a link on the
page to download something and which basically opens my download
manager and not the normal IE download window. The download manager is
some what functional but I am not getting how to attach it to the
browser. I tried Googling and got something, but I am not getting how
to achieve it as I don't have much experience of using a COM object in
a .Net environment.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753618.aspx

I found people having difficulties following this on net but there was
no specific solution provided.

In this post also it has been said to implement the IDownloadManage r,
but no hint how to do it.

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...45e9623ba94293
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Jai Prakash

Jai,

Admittedly, Jeffry could have been a little more descriptive.

There is a knowledge base article which has a sample of what you have to
do to implement IDownloadManage r:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327865

This is in C++, but you should be able to do it in .NET through the COM
interop layer.

Nicholas,

I really appreciate your quick reply.

The code sample is in C++. Could you help me out, converting it to
CSharp. I have never used COM object in .Net environment.

The CLSID can be provided in either of the following registry values:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Downlo adUI
\HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Mi crosoft\Interne t Explorer\Downlo adUI

<b>Note DownloadUI is a string value. The value is the CLSID of the
download manager COM object.</b>

My Download Manager is not a COM oblect, it is managed .net exe. How
to get the CLSID of it and provide it to the above registery value.

Hi, is it possible to implement custom resource managers for ASP.NET 2.0 so that strings can be read from a database (for example)? Ideally, it should be possible to configure the custom resource manager in web.config, so that it replaces the default resource manager. Using the <%$ ... %> syntax should read the strings via the custom resource manager, e.g. when used like this:
