loading images in .Net

[tomasz]

I need some help. I am trying to load image from web and save the same image locally.

I am trying following
Dim img As Image
Dim oImage As System.IO.Stream

img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("http://www.mysite.com/myimage.gif")
img.Save("c:test.gif")

Opening image as FromFile does not work, I guess there must be way to get it as IO.Stream, but I don't know how.

Any help would be appreciated.

I got this to work..... Pretty cool

Dim webC As New System.Net.WebClient()
Dim strFilename As String = "http://pathtoyourimage"
Dim img = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(webC.OpenRead(strFilename))
img.save("c:\temp\savelocal.gif")
