I am making a web browser in C Sharp, I want that all the files downloaded by the user on this web browser from any web sites, web browser saves it in one default folder (i.e C:\Users\Abc\Downloads)
Currently when i try to download file from any url it pops up a dialogue box asking for path, and it is annoying thing to have so i just wants to give one default path where it just saves the file automatically without asking user for the path.
Like we have default download path for Mozila firefox and google whenever user download any file from the web browser it saves in one default folder. so how can I achieve this in .net 4.0 Csharp web browser.
I'm afraid you can't with the webbrowser control,
maybe take a look at

first you don't use IE, and you can do more if I'm right

If you're using the WebBrowser control in c# this can be somewhat of a challenge, but have a look at this link which might help you, I've tried it myself with good results.

Good Luck! :)

I know By using WebClient class we can download the files directly.
By using this code web.DownloadFile("url", "filename");
But in my scenario I should call this(https://www.nseindia.com/reports/gsm) link and when this link triggered the "Download (.csv)" link should download automatically (you can see this download option in image and highlighted with blue color circle)
Note :
if I click on this download link it starting the downloading in the same link and will not not giving the download link separately. So I should call this download link through the coding only.
So how can we achieve this type of file downloading's.
Give me your best suggestions to achieve this.
A general approach to solving problems like this:
Open the network tab on your browser devtools
download the object you want to fetch with your program, and
look for the object's download.
Inspect that object in the network tab to determine its Url.
Then try that URL in your (C#) program.
If you get the object, fine. If you don't, the web site owner may have built anti-scraping protection for the object. For example, you may need to be logged in to the site to access the object.
I want to browse a specific folder which is on another server (other than on which our application is deployed) Through file upload control in asp.net (C#).
I'll need to make a restriction on file upload control, that it should take every user(student) to his own profile folder. Is there any possibility or a way to get that done.
I have googled a lot, but could not get solution.
Generaly no you can't do that. although some browser might use the value in the attribute Value.
But then again you have to know the path to their profile. So the answer is no.
I have a Web Browser Control in windows application. I want to save page at specific folder with CSS files and JS files. I have used webBrowser1.ShowSaveAsDialog() method but by this user can save page at any location instead of my application folder.
So, how can I save pages with folder structure to my location without showing pop up menu?
Good question!! all the browsers do it, iMacros ($495-$990) does it
Selenium, phantomjs, slimer, watir, etc CAN'T do it,
the closest i have seen to that sort of functionality is...
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2847/Automated-IE-SaveAs-MHTML
which uses c++ to hack the save as dialog.
You'd think that SaveAs webpage complete would be just another
method on the browser control. But it doesn't seem so. I want
this functionality as well -- sorry this question remains unanswered.
I have a lotus notes web form in which computer-illiterate customers will use to attach Excel files and submit them to our company. I am using a Lotus Notes File Upload Control to allow them to do this, however, I need to default this File Upload Control to a certain directory location. I have already created a C# application the customers will be using, which places all of these excel files in a certain directory location, hence the reason I need to focus this File Upload Control. Unfortunately, some of the customers are computer challenged enough to not know how to navigate to these files on their own. Is this possible at all?
I'm assuming the users will be visiting a web page with the File Upload control, yes? If I'm misunderstanding please let me know and I'll delete this answer.
The simple answer is it isn't possible. The problem is that the browser can't know anything about the file structure of the clients that visit the site, so a "default path" property doesn't really make sense. It would likely only work in very specific environments (which is maybe true in your case, but not across the web in general)
I would investigate using the Notes API to have the C# program handle the upload without involving the browser client use of the file upload control. I don't know enough Java to be sure, but perhaps that might also be an option -- basically writing your own custom upload control that only asks the user for the filename.
You may also be seriously underestimating the ability of the users to follow directions. If your page identifies which directory the file will be found in, I expect most users will be able to follow the directions and upload from the correct directory.
So, I'm sure that accomplishing what you want to accomplish is possible in Notes, just not as simply as adding a default directory to the File Upload Control.
I have searched extensively and have not found a solution.
Here is what im looking for:
When a user starts a download in a browser, I wish to move it to the download manager and remove the dialog download from browser, is this possible in C#?
It is fundamentally impossible for server-side code to modify the browser's download experience.
