hi,
How do you download a file from a document library in sharepoint to local folder? i am currently making a Windows application using C# that will download documents from a document library list.
i have tried this code. but i got error in
using (Stream destFile = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(destPath)) this line.

C#

public void Download()
       {
           string destPath=@"c:/Folder";
           Sp.ClientContext spcontext = new ClientContext("http://Sharepointsite");
           Directory.CreateDirectory(destPath);
           using (FileInformation ffl = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.OpenBinaryDirect(spcontext, "/Image"))
           {
               using (Stream destFile = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(destPath))
               {
                   byte[] buffer = new byte[8 * 1024];
                   int len;
                   while ((len = ffl.Stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
                   {
                       destFile.Write(buffer, 0, len);

www.whathaveyoutried.com. A search through bing for "download a file from a document library in sharepoint to local folder" would give you 11,000,000 results so what have you tried? Where is the code that demonstrates your problem? Any problem?

Without knowing what "i got error" actually means, I would have to guess that "c:/Folder" is not a valid filename that you are trying to pass to the OpenWrite method.
