'WebClient.DownloadFile', 'Image.FromFile'.

and then of course you take a mix of both replies



Dim imgUrl As String =
"http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/the_characters/images/icon_wally.gif"
Dim client As New WebClient
Dim imageBytes() As Byte = client.DownloadData(imgUrl)
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(imageBytes))
