This (Q244757) says there's no way to do this with the Web Browser control, but gives an alternative solution using UrlMon.dll, which I've put below. Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib 'urlmon' Alias 'URLDownloadToFileA' (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As StringByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As LongByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long returnValue = URLDownloadToFile(0, ' 'c: ms.htm', 0, 0) It won't download embedded content like images, apparently.

I'm navigating from webbrowser control to an url like this; It's shown in webbrowser control. What I want to do is to download this pdf file to computer. But I tried many ways; Dim filepath As String filepath = 'D: temp1.pdf' Dim client As WebClient = New WebClient client.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(clientDownloadFileCompleted); client.DownloadFileAsync(WebBrowserEx1.Url, filepath) This one downloads a pdf but there is nothing in the file.

When I try html files there is no problem to dowload, but in this.pdf file, I think I didn't manage to wait the file to be loaded as pdf into browser. You could test the URL when document completed fires and if its.pdf, then do the following then navigate back, for example.
