C# Selenium - Send Keys Not Working - Downloading a File - Need Solution

Question

I am trying to automate the ' Downloading a File ' using c# selenium in the IE9 browser. I tried my level best in exploring the Google to find the solution but nothing helps or works out.

My approach is, i just used ' send keys ' but still the send keys are not able to send the keys.

Waiting for the solution. I am sure some one had automated this scenario.

Some HTML and C# code will be nice. I can't understand why you use SendKeys() for

automate the 'Downloading a File'

Usually if the page allows it, this method is used to Upload a file. You don't need Selenium to download a file, try with the WebClient class :

using System.Net;
//...
WebClient Client = new WebClient ();
Client.DownloadFile("http://www.thereforesystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/image35.png", @"C:\mypicz\stackoverflowlogo.png");
