Private Sub TB_Get_Word_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles B_Get_Word.Click
        GB_Word.BringToFront()
        WordImageURL = Nothing
        secWord = Nothing
        secData = Nothing
        Dim GetWordPageStream As New System.Net.WebClient()
        Dim StreamReader(999) As Byte
        Dim GetWordPage As String
        Dim NewWordUrl As String = Nothing
        Dim WordStartPos1 As Integer
        Dim WordStartPos2 As Integer
        StreamReader = GetWordPageStream.DownloadData("http://edit.yahoo.com/config/register?wtoken=")
        GetWordPage &= System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(StreamReader)
        TextBox1.Text = GetWordPage
        WordStartPos1 = FindMyText("http://reg.yimg.com/i/", 1)
        WordStartPos2 = FindMyText(".jpg", 1)
        NewWordUrl = GetWordPage.Substring(WordStartPos1, WordStartPos2 - WordStartPos1 + "4")
        secData = NewWordUrl.Substring(0, WordStartPos2 - WordStartPos1)
        secData = secData.Remove(0, 22)
        GetWordPageStream.DownloadFile(NewWordUrl, Application.ExecutablePath & "imageword.jpg")

        PB_Word.Image = PB_Word.Image.FromFile(Application.ExecutablePath & "imageword.jpg")

        NewWordUrl = Nothing
        GB_Word.Enabled = True
        Exit Sub
errorhandler: Select Case Err.Number
            Case 5
                MsgBox("Connection Error.", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "")
            Case Is <> 5
                MsgBox(Err.Description, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Error #" & Err.Number)

        End Select
    End Sub
