download Manager - step by step

[liorlew]

Hello,

does anyone knows what do I need to do in order a download manager. I
need to create a proxy that for files X will perform a special task and
for all the rest will open the regular download dialog box.

the problem is that I do not know where to start: what reference to
add, what kind of project do I need to create ......

I will appreciate if you could give me something to start with.

I am programming in "C#" and already I have read the MSDN "Implementing
a Custom Download Manager" which didn't help me.

thanks,
Lior

Lior,

You will have to use a boatload of COM interop to do this. Take a look
on MSDN, look for the following phrase

asynchronous pluggable protocol

It will show you how you can create a pluggable protocol, and hook into
existing ones.

Hope this helps.
