Using System.Net.WebClient

The examples above is in C# and uses the async syntax and HttpClient in .NET 4.5. Alternatively, you can use the System.Net.Webclient (opens new window)

using (var webClient = new WebClient())
{
    webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("demo", "Bond007");
    byte[] document = webClient.DownloadData(urlToDownload);
}
