Picturebox question

[himey]

How can I populate a Picturebox control with an image from a known location on the internet with VB .NET?

 

For example, if I click a button and wanted to populate the Picturebox control with the Extreme .NET Forums logo from the top of this page, I would want the code to go out and load the image that can be found at http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/images/logo.gif

 

Can someone show me a blurb of code that would do this?

 

Thanks,

 

Himey

Assuming you have a picturebox on your form called PictureBox1...

 

       Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient()
       Dim bdata() As Byte
       Dim ms As MemoryStream

       bdata = wc.DownloadData("http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/images/logo.gif")
       ms = New MemoryStream(bdata)

       PictureBox1.Image = Bitmap.FromStream(ms)

Excellent advice. Works perfectly. Thank you very much.

 

I figured it had to do with streams, but I hadn't checked the memory stream.
