displaying image in VB.net from the web

[Guest]

in VB.net:
How can I get a picture from the web (ex:
http://212.212.212.212/cgi-bin/video.jpg) to display it in a form and to be
able to refresh it every 2 seconds... the pic actually is coming from an
internet cam....

Try using the WebRequest class in combination with the Bitmap( Stream )
constructor.

It'll be something like (disclaimer: I haven't tested this):

Dim req as New WebRequest = WebRequest.Create( "http://...." )
Dim Bitmap bmp as New Bitmap( req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream() )
