Save webbrowser's images to file
Hello all,
Most programmers hate to read, so first, here is the short version of my question:
Is there a method like WebBrowser1.Document.Image(0).SaveImageToFile("C:\Image.jpg") ?
If you have no direct solution, but are willing to help me (how very kind of you ), please read on...
I'm trying to make an application that downloads all the images from a photo album on the web. The user will navigate to the first image in the gallery and the program should download all images in full resolution automatically.
I have a working version now, but it is not satisfactory. Here is a simplified version of the code I use now for saving the images:
Code:
Private Sub startDownloading Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(WebBrowser1.Document.Images(0).GetAttribute("src"), "C:\image.jpg")
End Sub
This way, after the page with the image has fully loaded, it downloads the image using the Network.DownloadFile-method. So, it download the same file twice. But these files are big and websites are slow. Which makes the whole operation take about twice as long as it has to.
Is there a way to directly save the image-file that has already loaded in the WebBrowser-control, without having to download the image again?
Thanks for any help,
Alexander.
P.S. The images have semi-random names, so there's no automation possible there.
No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.
