HttpClient

MemeZOP•2y ago

@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ can you explain or help more

Angius•2y ago

For example https://stackoverflow.com/a/70418747

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var responseStream = await httpClient.GetStreamAsync(requestUrl);
using var fileStream = new FileStream(localFilePath, FileMode.Create);
responseStream.CopyTo(fileStream);

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var responseStream = await httpClient.GetStreamAsync(requestUrl);
using var fileStream = new FileStream(localFilePath, FileMode.Create);
responseStream.CopyTo(fileStream);

MemeZOP•2y ago

SO where would i input the URL to the download/file @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

Where.... it says requestUrl

MemeZOP•2y ago

just making sure sorry im sort of new to all this @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Also i'd put this in the button click right?

Angius•2y ago

Basically

MemeZOP•2y ago

i've got some errors

MemeZOP•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

Angius•2y ago

The method needs to be async void not just void

MemeZOP•2y ago

oh got it

Angius•2y ago

And I guess you're using an old version of the language, so use a using block not statement And, well, all the variables that don't exist anywhere

MemeZOP•2y ago

like awating ect.

Angius•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

wait mb im not sure i understand this part sorry

Angius•2y ago

Google is your friend in cases like those

MemeZOP•2y ago

oh alr and btw i put the link into where u said and

MemeZOP•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

Angius•2y ago

Strings in C# need quotes around them The using is still a statement not a block And you have one more nonexistent variable

MemeZOP•2y ago

the file path? is the missing variable?

Angius•2y ago

Yes

MemeZOP•2y ago

does it go in quotes?

Angius•2y ago

If you want to use a literal path there and not a variable, yes As I already said...

Angius•2y ago

I guess Google fails somethimes, huh? using statement

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

using block

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

MemeZOP•2y ago

@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ where do i put it now i have 44 errors

MemeZOP•2y ago

Angius•2y ago

Well not there

MemeZOP•2y ago

where lmao

Angius•2y ago

Instead of the using statement use the using block As I said before

MemeZOP•2y ago

yeah no ik that i mean like idk what to do tbh

Angius•2y ago

I just told you Instead of

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

make it

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

Or use a non-outdated version of the language

MemeZOP•2y ago

ik where do i put it @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

Where you have it...? If someone tells you to replace A with B that means you already have A So take out the A, and put B in its place I cannot be any more clear or I'll turn transparent

MemeZOP•2y ago

no bro what do i replace it with like what line

MemeZOP•2y ago

jcotton42•2y ago

What part of their directions are you confused by?

MODiX•2y ago

Angius

Instead of

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

using var foo = new SomeDisposable();
// code

make it

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

using (var foo = new SomeDisposable())
{
    // code
}

Angius•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

Angius•2y ago

The brown fox
Jumped over
The lazy dog

The brown fox
Jumped over
The lazy dog

Please replace Jumped over with Crawled under

jcotton42•2y ago

My dude Look at the sample Z gave you Then look at your code The "instead of" is shaped like a particular line

MemeZOP•2y ago

homie its not in my code where tf u see user var foo at lmao bro

Angius•2y ago

Jesus It's an example You have something that looks similar

MemeZOP•2y ago

my boy then js tell me

jcotton42•2y ago

No Turn your brain back on

MemeZOP•2y ago

bro u cant yell at me for not knowing what to replace when nothing is similar to it

jcotton42•2y ago

Do you not see the using line already in your code?

MemeZOP•2y ago

the only error i see that i replaced it more errors bro its ONE line that says using which producing the error

jcotton42•2y ago

Yes And you were told to replace that with a different thing Z was very clear

MemeZOP•2y ago

ik and i did and i got more errors bro

artya•2y ago

This is painful to read

jcotton42•2y ago

Then show them

MemeZOP•2y ago

so instead of "using var" i replace that with the bs he gave me

artya•2y ago

he gave you psuedo code

jcotton42•2y ago

Not even pseudo It's very concrete

artya•2y ago

True 😅

MemeZOP•2y ago

just fucking tell me what to replace it with so i can see it is it that hard bro

jcotton42•2y ago

We did

MemeZOP•2y ago

not a example that has 0 relevance or resembelence to what im dealing with

And I thought human brain evolved pattern recognition too well

jcotton42•2y ago

And if you already did that, show the new code and errors

MemeZOP•2y ago

in case ya noticed THAT example doesnt show a relevance

MemeZOP•2y ago

BRO THATS WHAT I DID WHAT DONT U GET

jcotton42•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

jcotton42•2y ago

Then show the updated code already It should have a using block Exactly like Z told you to do

MemeZOP•2y ago

<:picard_facepalm:616692703685509130> I'm done

Angius•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

i dont know a single bit of C# bro

Angius•2y ago

Do you notice certain similarities? Adapt the examples given to your code

MemeZOP•2y ago

formats ect. yk what js how tf do i update @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

I told you Even made a pretty picture

MemeZOP•2y ago

js tell me how to update

Angius•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

i dont wanna fix it js tell me how to update C# to 8 @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

Well, depends If it's a .NET Framework project, you might need to use an upgrade assistant

MemeZOP•2y ago

alright

Angius•2y ago

If it's a modern .NET project, just change the number in project properties

MemeZOP•2y ago

okay how do i check if its "modern"

Angius•2y ago

$newproject

MODiX•2y ago

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework. .NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569261465463160900/899381236617855016/unknown.png

Angius•2y ago

If you made a project in green it's good If you made a project in red it's bad

MemeZOP•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

im guessin this is bad then

Angius•2y ago

Upgrade Assistant

MemeZOP•2y ago

alright how

Angius•2y ago

Or you could try editing the .csproj manually Or you could make a new project with a new version of .NET and copy the code over Whichever you prefer

MemeZOP•2y ago

would this most likley work

Angius•2y ago

Seeing how 4.8 is the newest of old Framework versions, it just might

MemeZOP•2y ago

okay can u show me how to edit it @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

You'll have to edit TargetFramework to, say, net7.0 and LangVersion to, say, 11

MemeZOP•2y ago

where can i do that

Angius•2y ago

Inside of the .csproj file...? And just to get ahead of you, no, the file is not literally named .csproj It's YourProjectName.csproj And no, it's not literal YourProjectName.csproj But rather, well, your project's name With the extension .csproj Open it with any text editor, Notepad, Notepad++, whatever Edit Save

MemeZOP•2y ago

ik im in i cant find the lanf v lang version * @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

What does your .csproj file look like?

MemeZOP•2y ago

Angius•2y ago

Eh, it might work Not entirely sure, to be honest It's been ages since I worked with legacy Framework last, and I never had to port anything to modern .NET either

MemeZOP•2y ago

so what abt the lang version? is that all i needed to do

Angius•2y ago

Lang version might not be needed

MemeZOP•2y ago

alright

Angius•2y ago

Or you can try just adding it there manually Right now, see if it works

MemeZOP•2y ago

alright

MemeZOP•2y ago

MemeZOP•2y ago

@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ then You'll have to find someone more well-versed Or use the upgrade assistant maybe

MemeZOP•2y ago

alrigiht

Angius•2y ago

Never used it myself, but people say it does help

MemeZOP•2y ago

instead of downloading the file straight on can i make a website redirect?

Angius•2y ago

What do you mean?

MemeZOP•2y ago

like u click the button and it brings you to a website

Angius•2y ago

Sure

MemeZOP•2y ago

alright how exactly would that work

Angius•2y ago

Process.Start("http://google.com") should be all you need

MemeZOP•2y ago

oh alr let me see

Angius•2y ago

It's in the System.Diagnostics namespace

MemeZOP•2y ago

do i keep the async? on the button the button didn't do anything

Angius•2y ago

No need for async if you're not awaiting inside

MemeZOP•2y ago

thought so but it still didn't work no error just nothing happens @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

Odd, it should work

MemeZOP•2y ago

niether did message boxes

Angius•2y ago

Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = "https://google.com", UseShellExecute = true });

Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { FileName = "https://google.com", UseShellExecute = true });

maybe?

MemeZOP•2y ago

literally nothing could it be the linking to the button maybe? the settings @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

Does anything happen when you click the button? Would be best if you were to debug it See if breakpoints are being hit

MemeZOP•2y ago

no absolutley nothin what could it be @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Angius•2y ago

No idea
