How to display the internet image in picturebox using HttpWebRequest

Hi,
I am beginner, and try it a long time and can not find the solution...

Just want show the picture which in the internet...I will try using HttpWebRequest, because it will using in the mobile..


Thx

you need to use the HttpWebResponse & then it's GetResponseStream
then you can create an image using Image.FromStream.

like this ....

VB Code:

[COLOR=Blue]Dim[/COLOR] request [COLOR=Blue]As[/COLOR] HttpWebRequest = [COLOR=Blue]DirectCast[/COLOR](HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif"), HttpWebRequest)
        [COLOR=Blue]Dim[/COLOR] response [COLOR=Blue]As[/COLOR] HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse
 
        [COLOR=Blue]Dim[/COLOR] img [COLOR=Blue]As[/COLOR] Image = Image.FromStream(response.GetResponseStream)
 
        PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize
        PictureBox1.Image = img
 
        response.Close()

It work..Thanks..

Thanks for your reply...

I need to use httpRequest to do it, because I need use in the pocket pc

I'm using VB 2005 Basic Express.

I tried to enter this code, but I get the following error:

"Type 'HttpWebrequest' is not defined"


Do I need a different version to be able to use "HttpWebRequest"?

Thanks!

No, you probably just didn't fully qualify it with its namespace

Dim MyRequest as System.Net.HttpWebRequest

You can save a picture to file using the picturebox itself...

Lets say your picturebox is called Picturebox1...

VB Code:

picturebox1.Image.Save([i]File Name Here[/i])
