You only created a folder, but didn't create a file for download file, you can just modify your code webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.dada-data.net/uploads/image/hausmann_abcd.jpg"), folder); for example like this:

webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.dada-data.net/uploads/image/hausmann_abcd.jpg"), folder + "/abc.jpg");
