Windows Application with Image from URL

[Scott Durrett]

Here's my problem. I have a Windows application that has a picturebox. I
need to populate the picturebox from a image from a URL. Does someone know
how to do this? I don't have the luxury of the imageURL property that I
have from a web application.

thanks in advance.

Use the WebClient class to grab the image and put it into your picture box.

Hi,

Use WebRequest to download the image, and create the imag from the stream
you get:

Bitmap b = new Bitmap( WebRequest.Create(
"http://....").GetResponse().GetresponseSTream() );
cheers,
