Save jpg from WebSite

[ralphtrent]

Hi
I need to download an image from a website. I can not seem to do this. When I pass the URL to the StreamReader object I get an error back saying "URI Format are Not Supported". I have even tried to just make the image source of a picture box the url and that to sends back the same message.

Any Idea's?

Thanks

If you know the URL of the image (for example "

http://www.tek-tips.com/images/logo.gif")

you should be able to create a System.Net.HttpWebRequest object for it and get back a response stream. Then create a new Bitmap object from the stream, and save it to your local hard drive.

HTH
