Mike,
After reading your post I gave it a go and it was not hard at all.
Hopefully
this is what you are looking for.
WebRequest wr = WebRequest.Create(@"www.yoururl.com/image.jpg");
Bitmap remoteImage =
(Bitmap)Bitmap.FromStream(wr.GetResponse().GetResp onseStream());
Now you have a normal bitmap image that you can modify and save as desired.
HTH,

I've seen a few examples of creating an thumbnail from a file directly
from the server but....
does anyone know how i can grab a picture from another server (eg a
seperate image server http://myimages.com/images/001.jpg) and on the fly create a
thumbnail of that image?
a little like google images.
Thanks
Mike
