C#

private static MemoryStream downloadData(string url)
            {
                try
                {
                    progress.Value = 0;
                    Application.DoEvents();
                    //Get a data stream from the url
                    WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(url);
                    WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
                    Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();

                    //Download in chuncks
                    Byte[] buffer = new Byte[1024];

                    //Get Total Size
                    Int32 dataLength = (Int32)response.ContentLength;

                    //With the total data we can set up our progress indicators
                    progress.Maximum = dataLength;
                    Application.DoEvents();
                    //Download to memory
                    //Note: adjust the streams here to download directly to the hard drive
                    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
                    while (true)
                    {
                        //Try to read the data
                        Int32 bytesRead = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

                        if (bytesRead == 0)
                        {
                            progress.Value = progress.Maximum;
                            Application.DoEvents();
                            break;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            //Write the downloaded data
                            memStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                            if (progress.Value + bytesRead <= progress.Maximum)
                            {
                                progress.Value += bytesRead;
                                progress.Refresh();
                                Application.DoEvents();
                            }
                        }
                    }

                    stream.Close();
                    return memStream;
                }
                catch 
                {
                    //May not be connected to the internet
                    //Or the URL might not exist
                    throw new Exception("There was an error accessing the URL.");
                }
            }

now to use this

C#

string str = @"~/Reports/ReportViewing.aspx?report=rptReservationByOffice&StartDate=" + txtStartDate.Text + "&EndDate=" + txtEndDate.Text;
byte[] DownloadedData = DownloadData(str);
            if (DownloadedData == null || DownloadedData.Length == 0)
                return;
using (Stream Writer = File.Create(FilePath))
            {               
                Writer.Write(DownloadedData, 0, DownloadedData.Length);
            }
