Webclient downloadfileasync not working

I got a WPF application and I want to download a file.

I'm using System.Net; and I have the following code:

WebClient ww = new WebClient();
ww.DownloadFileAsync(
    new Uri("http://www.sinvise.net/tester/1.jpg"), 
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\1.jpg");

The problem is, is that it doesn't download the file, it's just showing up as 0kb file and not downloading, I don't know what the problem is, can anyone help?

Solution

  • Found the answer, I read that DownloadFile checks the DNS first before anything, if I use an IP address it doesn't do the check and immediately works.

    Thanks for everyones help on this though.
