Hi all I am trying to grab a jpeg from a streaming server that sends jpeg images on request. I have written an application that gets these images in a desktop app that uses
me.picturebox1.imagelocation = http://<path>
and this works great. I now am trying to make a similar app for my new wm5 pocket pc. And i have no imageslocation property in the cf.
I have the following code
Dim
req As Net.HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif"), Net.HttpWebRequest) Dim res As Net.HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(req.GetResponse, Net.HttpWebResponse) Dim img As Image = Image.FromStream(res.GetResponseStream)But it wont work as i cannot use image.fromstream on the cf. Anyone any great ideas on a way around this or am i approaching this from the wrong direction
Many Thanks

Spot On Thanks Very much this did it for me
Private Sub InitializeStreamBitmap()
Try
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = _
System.Net.WebRequest.Create( _
"http://www.microsoft.com//h/en-us/r/ms_masthead_ltr.gif")
Dim response As System.Net.WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim responseStream As System.IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim bitmap2 As New Bitmap(responseStream)
PictureBox1.Image = bitmap2
Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
MessageBox.Show("There was an error opening the image file. Check the URL")
End Try
End Sub
Thanks Again
