ftp callback example C#

[marfi95]

Hello all,

I've looked all over the internet and am not having much luck. I'm
trying to implement a callback out of a ftpgetfile method so I can give
my users an indication of the progress of their download since the
files are pretty big. I'm having problems setting up the callback
using the InternetSetStat usCallback method. I found a VB6 version, but
having all kinds of problems converting it to C#. I'm new to C#, so
I'm not all that familiar with event handlers, but I don't understand
how to use InternetSetStat usCallback or what it passes to the callback
method.

Does anyone have an example of this in C# or vb.net ?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

Take a look at this:

~
#Region "Declaratio ns"
Friend Declare Function InternetSetStat usCallback Lib "wininet.dl l"
( _
ByVal hInternet As IntPtr, _
ByVal lpfnInternetCal lback As INTERNET_STATUS _CALLBACK _
) As Integer
Friend Delegate Sub INTERNET_STATUS _CALLBACK( _
ByVal hInternet As IntPtr, _
ByRef dwContext As Integer, _
ByVal dwInternetStatu s As InternetStatus, _
ByRef lpvStatusInform ation As InternetState, _
ByVal dwStatusInforma tionLength As Integer _
)

Friend Enum InternetStatus
ResolvingName = 10
NameResolved = 11
ConnectingToSer ver = 20
ConnectedToServ er = 21
SendingRequest = 30
RequestSent = 31
ReceivingRespon se = 40
ResponseReceive d = 41

End Enum

Friend Enum InternetState

End Enum
#End Region

InternetSetStat usCallback(hInt ernet, AddressOf
InternetSetStat usCallback)
End Sub

Friend Sub InternetStatusC allback( _
ByVal hInternet As IntPtr, _
ByRef dwContext As Integer, _
ByVal dwInternetStatu s As InternetStatus, _
ByRef lpvStatusInform ation As InternetState, _
ByVal dwStatusInforma tionLength As Integer _
)
REM Handle callback
End Sub

It wasn't tested but should work.
Hope it will,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.

Temporarily, what I did was change to code to not use a FTPGetFile, but
InternetReadFil e instead since I have control over the buffer size.
My preference was to use FTPGetFile, so I'll give this is a shot.
Thanks again.
