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

    like this ....
    VB Code:
    1. [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)

    2.         [COLOR=Blue]Dim[/COLOR] response [COLOR=Blue]As[/COLOR] HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse

    3.  
    4.         [COLOR=Blue]Dim[/COLOR] img [COLOR=Blue]As[/COLOR] Image = Image.FromStream(response.GetResponseStream)

    5.  
    6.         PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize

    7.         PictureBox1.Image = img

    8.  
    9.         response.Close()

    Re: How to display the internet image in picturebox using HttpWebRequest

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