How to save internet cached copy of an image in a web page to local folder programatically in C#/VB.net?

I googled a lot, couldn't find a good solution. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

What I want to do is:

Given a web page in a running IE browser , i want to save an image in
this web page to my local folder programatically in C#/VB.net. But i
couldn't save the image from its src attribute of IMG tag, because that
src is generated using ajax, the image is gone from server after it is
sent back to client. So the only way to save the image is to save the
cached copy from local internet cache to my local folder,
but how to do this???

There are two ways, I think:
1) write code to achieve the same goal as in IE right-click on the
image and then click on Save Picture As....
2) given a web page in a running IE window, there is a way to
programatically save the cached image on the web page to local foler.
Any one knows how to do either of above? Thanks a lot!!

Hi, I'm writing an application that needs to know if an Internet connection is available. Basically, I want to have something similar to what a lot of email clients have, where the app can work either in "online" or "offline" mode (it keeps a cache of downloaded info, so it can work without a connection if needed). The basic problem is this: it downloads info (RSS feeds) from a variety of sources. Any one (or more) of these could...

Hi, I'm writing a page which has a somewhat similar folder tree to that of the windows explorer, where each folder is made of a <SPAN> tag consisting of the folder image (closed or open) and the folder name. When certain actions are performed by the user, more folders (spans) are dynamically added using javascript function appendChild(). I add a new folder span to a container span which holds the whole tree.

How do I prevent I WebForm from being cached in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder on the client computer? The web form is displayed in a popup modal dialog (window.showModalDialog). If the client closes the popup modal window and re-displays the web form again, I want the page to be retreived from the server instead of the temporary internet files folder. Here's what I've tried (and it didn't work of course):

I thought an Access 2000 .mdb on a server from the local council with a web page in Active Server Pages(ASP) and using ADO would do the trick, then one of them could update it at home on the web to keep track of members and somebody else could do the same for current programmes etc....

I am running on my PC Windows Forms to collect data from websites, including images. I hit a problem with images and javascript, and I would appreciate any help. The current code fails with a copy error. My Internet connected PC is not the development machine, so I cannot debug on that PC and my other PC has no Internet connection. So I cannot debug using .NET as normal.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
