C# and image
-
Frnds, I have a desktop application(c# and SQL) which tries to get image from URL. What I did string imgg = PictureBoxImageAdding(dr.GetValue(0).ToString()); pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage; pictureBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(142, 190); pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(imgg); It work fine with local path ie. d:/images/pics/xyz.jpg but not with http://www.xyz.com/images/pics/xyz.jpg Whats the SOLUTION.

Download the picture to a local (temporary) file, e.g. using HttpWebRequest from the System.Net namespace. Then load the temp file.

That's because you're creating a bitmap and that only understands files, not URIs or URLs. I think you probably want to just set the
ImageLocationproperty toimgg, or do aLoad(), but haven't tried it so can't say for sure.Regards, Rob Philpott.

images have to be stored in memory or in a file. Valid file paths don't start with
http://I use MemoryStream in such situations, seedownloadImage()in CP Vanity[^]. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum
Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

If you don't want to use a temp file, then: 1) create a web request 2) use the web request to get a web response 3) use GetResponseStream() to get stream of image 4) create image from stream 5) assign image to picturebox1.Image

You do not need to bother yourself with things like web requests to do this as others have suggested - this is completely unnecessary. As stated above just set ImageLocation to the URL you need.
