(VB.NET) Download File from Dropbox (Streaming)

Downloads a file from Dropbox, streaming it directly to a file in the filesystem.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
' Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
' See Dropbox Access Token.
