Well MSDN says that this is the signature of the WebClient.DownloadFile method:

C#

public void DownloadFile(
    string address,
    string fileName
)

The example on MSDN states that the file gets stored in the Application.StartupPath folder. See here on the bottom of the page: WebClient.DownloadFile[^].

Best Regards,
Manfred
