Get an image from the web

[Guest]

Hi all

what is the easiest way to store an image from the (e.g. http://www.internetpage.com/testimage.jpg
in a bitmap in my asp.net application
A source code sample would be nice.

Thank
Ashley

What exactly do you need to do?

If all you want is to link the image you can just link it from your page
with an <img> tag referencing the image Url.

If you need to capture the image you can use the WebRequest class to read
the data and then do whatever you need to with it on the 'client'
application.

Hi Rick,

thanks for the answer. I like to store the image on disk!
I believe the first step is therefore to store the image in a bitmap object ?

The image is already a file.

Hi,
something like this

dim url as string = "http://site.com/images/pic.gif"
Dim oWeb As New WebClient
oWeb.DownloadFile(url, "c:/images/pic.gif")
