>We have developed a WebForm to allow users to download updates from our website. So far the download process is going well. We do have a problem with WebClient.Cancel however. When issued we never receive an event at our handler (DownloadFileComplete) and to make matters worse the download continues until the file is completely processed.

I'm sorry if this is a wrong question, but why do you define dim client as new WebClient again in your btnCancel code? Should it use already defined client instead?
