How to use web browser control for downloading files

samp

Hi All,

How can i download files using web browser control? I want to be able
to automtaically download files giving the file a location and name.
I am getting the download file dialog box which i do not want to
display. Is there a way to click "Save" programatically?
Any help is highly appreciated.

If you know the URL of the file, use HttpWebRequest object to get the file
directly.

I have to simulate some actions in a web browser before i can get to
the actual downloading. First i log in then i get a list of all users
then i navigate to a particular page for a user and then click on a
link. this link url is common for all the users but the file that gets
downloaded is different. How can i do this using the httpwebrequets?
any ideas?
