I really need help -
I am writing a program that will constantly refresh an image (webcam stream/etc) from the web.
I need a control that can take a URL for the picture, and also update quickly.
I know of GTImage from http://www.gtactive.com , but it does not refresh properly - Does anyone know of a control similar to GTImage, or code that will accomplish what I need?
PLEASE HELP! (:
I really need to get this done asap, thanks all!

Couldn't you just use the inet control, use it to dl the picture to disc, load the picture into an imagecontrol or picture box, and then delete the file from the disc?
I could easily write such a control for you if you like, but it shouldn't be too hard to do yourself.

wouldn't having the image being saved to disk VERY slow?

I suppose it doesn't have to be saved to disc. How often should it repeat, and how large pictures are we talking?

Ok, I tried what you said, and it worked better than I expected - but, i really don't want to write to disk - I am talking about 10ms (more like 100) to 60 second updates - Is there a way I can use the method you suggest, but without saving to disk? Also, how much processor overhead will I see with up to 9 simultaneous images?

(the iamge size will be around 320x240 and from 5kb to 40kb) (I am on DSL)

I am also getting weird results using that method - certain times, after exiting my program, the IDE will hang, other times it'll go right back..?
