ImageView, Picture load from Internet?

[hasexxl1988]

Hello,
I wanted to ask if I can help those who may have already looked at HTTP examples, but does not continue anyway. Perhaps a solution-oriented whoever. Here is my code, what does not. : (

ImageView1.Bitmap = LoadBitmap ("http://img24.imageshack.us/i/","d3100.jpg")

You cannot do that, the syntax is:

LoadBitmap (Dir As String, FileName As String) As Bitmap

To do what you want you have to download the picture and then load it to the ImageView

here is some code I have been working on, in the link below this is only part of the code.
'dim stuff

 Dim hcimage As HttpClient 'download the image
       Dim reqimage As HttpRequest

get the image - pic being image name

 Dim imagepath As String
imagepath = "http://m.metservice.com/sites/all/themes/mobile/images/wx-icons/"& pic
reqimage.InitializeGet(imagepath)
hcimage.Execute(reqimage, 1)

save it

 Sub hcimage_ResponseSuccess(Response As HttpResponse, TaskId As Int)

  Response.GetAsynchronously("ImageResponse", _   
  File.OpenOutput(File.DirInternalCache, pic, False), True, TaskId)
End Sub

'load image auto

 Sub ImageResponse_StreamFinish (Success As Boolean, TaskId As Int)
    If Success = False Then
        Msgbox(LastException.Message, "Error")
        Return
    End If
    imgtemp.Bitmap = LoadBitmap(File.DirInternalCache, pic)
End Sub

'load the image manually

 If File.Exists(File.DirInternalCache, pic) Then
'if so then load it
imgtemp.Bitmap = LoadBitmap(File.DirInternalCache, pic)

Also check HttpUtils. In most cases it is easier (and safer) to use HttpUtils.

what is the best way to download a pic, using this method or FTP ?
