Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Good day all
I'm really sorry if this question has been asked before, I have searched a lot without success. I want to download one file from my own account using ASP.net, but using VB (not C#). I have downloaded the V2 API package
PM> Install-Package Dropbox.Api
I have tried without using the above SDK using this code. Although a file is created on my computer its full of junk.
Protected Sub Button5_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click Dim UrlPath As String = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/quswjzadmomb6xz/Linux.txt?dl=0" ' make sure you get the download path of the file in this format Dim DownloadToThisFilename As String = "C:\test\FileName.txt" ' filename for the file to be downloaded to Try Using Client As New System.Net.WebClient() Client.DownloadFile(UrlPath, DownloadToThisFilename) End Using Catch MsgBox("Issues") End Try End Sub
Two solutions I think are possible and I would be happy with either
1. A VB solution that is similar to the above
or
2. A solution that does use the SDK, but once again written in VB
Any help very much appreciated

PS - its an Excel file I want to download if that makes any difference

A massive thank you for the fast and accurate reply. Just changing the 0 to a 1 at the end of the link ensured I got the file I was expecting. The SDK option is good information as well, and I have saved that link for future reference
Again thank you for taking the time to help me out, I really appreciate it
regards
