The usual disclaimer apples here - this was written by me so it's probably wrong. It
could do this task better - it could use async callbacks and all that gubbins. I don't
know how to use that (If anyone out there can post a better example with better
explinations that the one in the SDK I'll be VERY greatful - Async Callbacks have me
stumped).
But it works and it will stream an image from the interweb for you - just pass it the url.
From there just write it to a file.
-- BEGIN CODE --
private Image StreamImageFromNet(string url)
{
Image img = null;
Stream str = null;
System.Console.WriteLine("Retreiving: " + url);
HttpWebRequest webReq;
webReq =
(HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
try
{
HttpWebResponse webResp =
(HttpWebResponse)webReq.GetResponse();
str = webResp.GetResponseStream();
img = Image.FromStream(str);
System.Console.WriteLine("That went off
without a hitch");
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
// Do something more important here
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
if (str != null)
str.Close();
return img;
}
-- END CODE --

I cant seem to find the commmand that I can use to save an image file
from a url to my local harddrive. I am looking to save a jpg from a
webpage that I have screen scraped.
I have a web application that uses readHtmlPage(url.ToString()); to
read the page in, I am able to use regular expressions to save to url
of the jpg to a string but I cant seem to find the way to save that
image to a file on my local drive
What I want to do is, if I have:
strJPGURL="http://www.website.com/images/*image123.jpg"
how can I save that to
f::/images/image123.jpg
Thanks..
