Hi, What about downloading in chunks? Not quite sure about that, but with System.IO.Filestream object you can do random access within the file...
Another option would be to look around the web for components, which do the same thing with some handshake etc. - go google go :-) Bye, Ivan -----Original Message----- From: PrashanthG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Async programming in .Net Hi, I want to implement Async communication in .Net i.e. I need to make a WebService call on Internet which will download a big file. Can somebody suggest me the better option of the following two methods. 1.Having a new thread for making the Web Service call (multi threading). 2.Using the Async support provided by .Net (i.e. the begin method and the end method) The client is a windows app. Mentioning of advantages and disadvantages of both these options or providing pointers for the same will be highly appreciated.
