Load picture from internet 1

[namida]

Hi How do I do it if I want to load a picture from the internet.

I have a database shared between VB program and also PHP in the net. The database holds the path to the file eg.

http://www.here.com/images/now.gif

How do I load the image from my VB? I want to show the picture in the program.

I tried directly accessing but it gives an error.


Regards,

Namida

The easiest solution would probably be to add a webbrowser control and navigate to the file i.e.

WebBrowser1.Navigate2 "

http://www.here.com/images/now.gif"

Or you can do it the way I propose in thread222-93819

strongm - Excellent solution - much easier to have the picture in a picture box so you can play about with it if you need to.
