Hello, i have a program that downloads a file using the httpwebrequest/response, and it usually works, but sometimes it will freeze at a random part of the download without an error.
here is the code: - 'Creating the request and getting the response
-
Dim theResponse As HttpWebResponse
-
Dim theRequest As HttpWebRequest
-
-
Try 'Checks if the file exist
-
theRequest = WebRequest.Create(Me.Filelocation)
-
theResponse = theRequest.GetResponse
-
Catch ex As Exception
-
-
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while downloading file. Possibe causes:" & ControlChars.CrLf & _
-
"1) File doesn't exist" & ControlChars.CrLf & _
-
"2) Remote server error", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
-
-
Dim cancelDelegate As New DownloadCompleteSafe(AddressOf DownloadComplete)
-
-
Me.Invoke(cancelDelegate, True)
-
-
Exit Sub
-
End Try
-
theRequest.Timeout = 30000
-
theRequest.KeepAlive = True
-
Dim length As Long = theResponse.ContentLength 'Size of the response (in bytes)
-
-
Dim safedelegate As New ChangeTextsSafe(AddressOf ChangeTexts)
-
Me.Invoke(safedelegate, length, 0, 0, 0) 'Invoke the TreadsafeDelegate
-
-
Dim writeStream As New IO.FileStream(Me.whereToSave, IO.FileMode.Create)
-
-
'Replacement for Stream.Position (webResponse stream doesn't support seek)
-
Dim nRead As Integer
-
-
'To calculate the download speed
-
Dim speedtimer As New Stopwatch
-
Dim currentspeed As Double = -1
-
Dim readings As Integer = 0
-
-
Do
-
If BackgroundWorker1.CancellationPending Then 'If user abort download
-
Exit Do
-
End If
-
-
speedtimer.Start()
-
-
Dim readBytes(4095) As Byte
-
Dim bytesread As Integer = theResponse.GetResponseStream.Read(readBytes, 0, 4096)
-
-
nRead += bytesread
-
Dim percent As Integer = (nRead / length) * 100
-
-
Me.Invoke(safedelegate, length, nRead, percent, currentspeed)
-
-
If bytesread = 0 Then Exit Do
-
-
writeStream.Write(readBytes, 0, bytesread)
-
-
speedtimer.Stop()
-
-
readings += 1
-
If readings >= 5 Then 'For increase precision, the speed it's calculated only every five cicles
-
currentspeed = 20480 / (speedtimer.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000)
-
speedtimer.Reset()
-
readings = 0
-
End If
-
Loop
-
-
'Close the streams
-
theResponse.GetResponseStream.Close()
-
writeStream.Close()
-
-
If Me.BackgroundWorker1.CancellationPending Then
-
-
IO.File.Delete(Me.whereToSave)
-
-
Dim cancelDelegate As New DownloadCompleteSafe(AddressOf DownloadComplete)
-
-
Me.Invoke(cancelDelegate, True)
-
-
Exit Sub
-
-
End If
-
-
Dim completeDelegate As New DownloadCompleteSafe(AddressOf DownloadComplete)
-
Try
-
Me.Invoke(completeDelegate, False)
-
Catch ex As Exception
-
MsgBox(ex.Message)
-
End Try
But im pretty sure my problem is in this part of the code: -
-
Do
-
If BackgroundWorker1.CancellationPending Then 'If user abort download
-
Exit Do
-
End If
-
-
speedtimer.Start()
-
-
Dim readBytes(4095) As Byte
-
Dim bytesread As Integer = theResponse.GetResponseStream.Read(readBytes, 0, 4096)
-
-
nRead += bytesread
-
Dim percent As Integer = (nRead / length) * 100
-
-
Me.Invoke(safedelegate, length, nRead, percent, currentspeed)
-
-
If bytesread = 0 Then Exit Do
-
-
writeStream.Write(readBytes, 0, bytesread)
-
-
speedtimer.Stop()
-
-
readings += 1
-
If readings >= 5 Then 'For increase precision, the speed it's calculated only every five cicles
-
currentspeed = 20480 / (speedtimer.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000)
-
speedtimer.Reset()
-
readings = 0
-
End If
-
Loop
7 7784
Put a Try...Catch Statement around the WHOLE code, and then in the 'Catch Ex as Exception' line, under that have a message box showing the whole error.
Example: - Try
-
'All Code
-
Catch ex As Exception
-
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString())
-
End Try
This should give you an error the error that's happening some point in the code, post back the error and line number so we can help you furthermore. :)

i tried that already, but it doesnt show that anythings wrong, the whole program still works but the downloaded freezes at a random place... and it doesnt do it all the time it, its just random.
Hmm...This has occurred to me a while ago when I was working with downloading files, but since you're in VB.NET, why not use the My.Computer.Net work.DownloadFi le() Method, it's kind of the lazy way, but if it works?
joedeene
because i want to get the speed and progress of the download

Hmm these lines:
theRequest.Time out = 30000
theRequest.Keep Alive = True
have no effect since you have already called for the response.
Your code does lot of work, is it possible it is getting stuck in a loop somewhere.
Have you set a breakpoint and stepped through your code?
its usually just a random point that it just decides to stop downloading, i did find a quick fix though... instead of using a backgroundworke r i just put it all in a different sub and called application.doe vents, and this seemed to fix it.

That was as I thought.
You are in a busy loop somewhere trying to get the rest of the data, but the managed object doesn't know more data has come in, because it never had the chance to get its messages (the doevents() call)

Hi, I need some feedback.
We are converting to .Net and we are trying to decide on whether to use
VB.net or C#.net.
As far as our current systems, they will probably be rewritten in ASP.Net.
I have looked into both and I don't see anything that would scream out to
use one or the other. So at this point, it is still a toss up.
However, I want to look at the two languages from a different perspective.
That is from a career point of view....

Hi All,
The company I work for has traditionally used COM/ActiveX for the
solutions that it provides. We are in the process of moving to .NET and
a few applications have been written in VB.NET up to this point.
Some of the applications are class libraries which need to be callable
via the COM interface from some of the older applications. Could
someone please explain to me the issues involved in deploying such a
class library?
