Loading an Image from a Web Server

I want to load an image into a VB Picture Box control at runtime.
like

Code:

---

Form1.Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "/images/about_us.gif")
Form1.Picture1.Refresh

---

However The image is on a web server and changes.

Code:

---

Form1.Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("http://www.activeportal.net/images/about_us.gif")
Form1.Picture1.Refresh

---

This doesn't work.
Has anyone done this before.

I would rather do it using API than adding attitional dll's and ocx's to my project. Size is important as the app will be downloadable to modem users.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Charlie

I know someone out there can help me

If you want to download images off the Internet, you are going to have to use a dll or ocx. That's the only way to access the Internet. Try the Internet Transfer Control or WinSock.
