Dropbox API - Downloading windows exe file

Does filecontainer have the length of data you expect? Can you share the rest of the relevant code?

filecontainer = Await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync()

"Filecontainer is a string."

This doesn't make sense. GetContentAsStreamAsync doesn't return a String. It returns a Stream.

You probably want code like this:

Dim response = Await dbx.files.BeginDownload(path + "/" + file)
Dim responseStream = Await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync()

Using localFileStream As File.Create("myfile.exe")
    responseStream.CopyTo(localFileStream)
End Using

@Gregory, no. It's bigger, mostly. Depends on encoding. If I use ASCII enconding, then it's smaller. 

@Steve, thanks, your solution worked. Kinda. I'm a little bit rusty with VB, since I didn't use it for a long, long time. In fuction I did responsestream, and later, I had to return stream in class (form1), because file.create apparently doesn't work in async functions. 

Below is entire code, so you can see what I did.

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text

Public Class Form1

Dim dropbox As New Dropbox.Api.DropboxClient("My token")
Dim responsestream As Stream

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

GetDbxUser()

GetExe("/my_path", "exefile.exe")

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Using stream = File.Create("exefile.exe")
responsestream.CopyTo(stream)
End Using

End Sub

' Dropbox Api functions

Public Async Function GetDbxUser() As Task
Dim user = Await dropbox.Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync()
'Just to check that it actually works
Label2.Text = "User set complete!"
Label3.Text = user.Email
End Function

Public Async Function GetExe(path As String, file As String) As Task
Dim response = Await dropbox.Files.DownloadAsync(path + "/" + file)
responsestream = Await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync()

End Function

End Class
