Thread: get bitmap from image in website.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "getting a bitmap from a current website". If you want to download and save an image from a webserver, and you know the address of the image, you could do something along these lines:

Code:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Drawing;

namespace TestApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            // example
            DownloadImageAndSave("http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif", "test.gif");
        }

        static void DownloadImageAndSave(String image_address, String target_filename)
        {
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(image_address);
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(response.GetResponseStream());
            bitmap.Save(target_filename);
            bitmap.Dispose();
            response.Close();
        }
    }
}

this is error.
