How can I convert image url to system.drawing.image

Question

I\'m using VB.Net I have an url of an image, let\'s say http://localhost/image.gif

I need to create a System.Drawing.Image object from that

Answer 1

You can try this to get the Image

Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("[URL here]")
Dim response As System.Net.WebResponse = req.GetResponse()
Dim stream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()

Dim img As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream)
stream.Close()
