I'm trying to download files directly from a list of urls. I was able to download most files successfully except for the .docx. I was able to download the .docx file, but when I try to open it, the error message shows that <code>"The file is corrupt and cannot be opened"</code>, when I try to repair it with Microsoft Word, I got another error message saying <code>"Microsoft Office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid"</code>. I don't have any issue when download pdf files. My code is very simple and it looks like this: <pre><code>WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); webClient.DownloadFile("http://somehost/somefile.docx", "C:\\somefolder\\somefile.docx"); webClient.Dispose(); //I added this line just to see if it will fix the problem but no it didn't </code></pre> I went to the urls in the browser and make sure that the files does exist and are not corrupted. The urls are just fine and I was able to download files directly from the urls in a browser and the file opens. Additional Information: I did find one thing that's different for pdf url and docx url, but I really don't think it has anything to do with my problem. When I go to the pdf url in a browser, the pdf was displayed in the browser. However, when I go to the docx url, the page doesn't show anything, but the download for the file automatically starts. I don't think this will make a difference but just FYI. EDIT 10:38AM I just tried the Async method. I was able to download the docx file and open it, but it appear as a blank word document, which is still not correct. The same docx file I download from the browser does have content. <pre><code>webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://somehost/somefile.docx"),"C:\\somefolder\\somefile.docx"); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
