Simulate "Save Target As" using MSHTML

[John]

Does anyone know how to simulate the right click "Save Target As" using
MSHTML?

I find that I can navigate through the LinksCollection on any given page but
often these links are links to files (*.doc, *.xls etc). If I follow the
link, it will open the document, but I am interested in saving it. Any ideas?

John,

Not that I have directly the answer, know that if you reuse HTML the
behaviour will be as Interenet explorer.

Therefore you can not save unintended the doc somewhere on disk. However you
can save the outertext from the HTML tag what is beside the first header
mostly complete the page.

I hope this helps,

Cor

You could download the file using 'WebClient.DownloadFile'.
