Suppressing Save As Dialog Box

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I am using following code to save web page as text file. But code doesn't seem to work correctly as per visibility(UI) of save as dialog box

webBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("SaveAs", false, @"C:\google.txt");

I set UI to false so it should not show save as dialog box. But it still showing regularly for every call of "ExecCommand". At MSDN it is stated that when you set second parameter to false it should turn of "Save As" UI off. Can anybody please tell me why it's not working?

This is only a guess, but maybe you don't have permission to write to the C:\ folder, or the file is read only...

And then there's this:

I think you're just plain out of luck.
