Hi.

I am wondering how I can download and save internet images onto my hard disk from a windows application.

Thank you very much in advance.

Below is a quick way to do it, replace "textbox1.text" with the url to the image...

Dim MyBitmap As Bitmap = New Bitmap(New System.Drawing.Bitmap(New IO.MemoryStream(New System.Net.WebClient().DownloadData(TextBox1.Text))))
MyBitmap.Save("c:\test.jpg", Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
