Picture Help ! (resovled)

I was wondering if anyone new how to grab an image from a URL. Lets say http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/ww/m6v9.gif that is just the yahoo.com top image. I want to take that image from the web and download it. The a user presses a button and the picturebox becomes that picture.


Or....
Say there is a form with a picture control, a text box, and a buttonm. The user types a url of a picture such as (http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/ww/m6v9.gif) in the textbox and the presses the button. The picture gets loaded in the picture box.
Thanks for any help

This from VBCodeBook ....

VB Code:

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text
'This import is required to gain access to the new namespace
Imports LoadImageFromWeb.ImageStream
 
Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Private Sub btnLoadWebImage_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadWebImage.Click
        'Loads a picture box with an image from a website
        Const PATH_TO_IMAGE = "http://www.vbforums.com/images/ads/current.gif"
        Dim xImage As ImageToDownload = New ImageToDownload(PATH_TO_IMAGE)
        Dim xStream As MemoryStream = xImage.BeginDownload()
        picFromWeb.Image = Image.FromStream(xStream)
    End Sub
 
End Class
 
Namespace ImageStream
 
    Public Class ImageToDownload
        Dim sI2D_URL2Download As String
        Const PREFIX = "http://"
 
        Public Sub New(ByVal sURL As String)
            Me.sI2D_URL2Download = sURL
        End Sub
 
        Public Function BeginDownload() As MemoryStream
            Dim msImage As MemoryStream
            Dim wcClient As WebClient = New WebClient()
 
            If Not sI2D_URL2Download.ToLower().StartsWith("http://") Then sI2D_URL2Download = PREFIX + sI2D_URL2Download
            msImage = New MemoryStream(wcClient.DownloadData(sI2D_URL2Download))
 
            Return msImage
        End Function
    End Class
 
End Namespace
