retrieve a picture from a website and save to disk

[Brian Henry]

Here is a simple problem, havent worked much with HTTP streams so haven't
done this yet... I want to access a picture located at
http://www.somesite.com/images/imagename.jpg then save it to a local file.
how would i do this? thanks!

Take a look at 'WebClient.DownloadFile'.

Brian,

In this case depending on security etc, you mostly can use
webclient.downloadfile

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...dfiletopic.asp

It is easier to use than as you would expect reading the sample on this link
above

Dim myWebClient As New WebClient()
myWebClient.downloadfile _(
"http://www.somesite.com/images/imagename.jpg","C:\myimage.jpg")

That is all

I hope this helps?
