Load image from URL into Picturebox at runtime

[mralston]

I want to load an image into a PictureBox from a URL at runtime. Any ideas how?

I was attempting to do it like this

' Get image
        Dim oXMLHTTP As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP()
        oXMLHTTP.open("GET", "http://www.site.com/image.jpg")
        oXMLHTTP.send()

        Dim strImage As System.IO.Stream = oXMLHTTP.responseStream

        oXMLHTTP = Nothing

        ' Load image into Picture Box
        picProductImage.Image = Image.FromStream(strImage)

but it told me that the cast (data type?) of the responsestream and image objects didn't match. I also tried using

picProductImage.Image = Image.FromFile("http://www.site.com/image.jpg")

Only to be told that the FromFile method didn't support URLs.

So I'm stuck.
