like an image from a website like the google logo ?

if so then heres an example, this requires:
using System.Net;
using System.IO;

set you picturBox image to GetImage("someurltoimage")
e.g picturBox1.Image=GetImage("

http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif");

private Image GetImage(string sURL)
{
	Stream str = null; 		
			
	try
	{
	//Create a web request to the url containing the image
		HttpWebRequest wReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sURL);
	
	//optional: use only if you're using a proxy to connect to the internet			
		//wReq.Proxy = SetWebProxy();
				
	//gets the response from the web request 
		HttpWebResponse wRes = (HttpWebResponse)(wReq).GetResponse();
					
	//return the image stream from the URL specified earlier
		str = wRes.GetResponseStream();
	}
	catch (Exception Ex)
	{
		MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message);
	}

	if (str != null)
		return Image.FromStream(str);
	else 
		return null;
}

the above works nicely, but bear in mind I'm a relative n00b so theres probably an easier/better way.
