Image.FromStream - What am I missing here.

[Guest idolpx]

I'm working on a function to load a PictureBox from a URL that points to an image.

private void GetImage(string URL, PictureBox picSource)

{

            Image WebImage = null;


            // prepare the web page we will be asking for

            HttpWebRequest  request  = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(URL);


            // execute the request

            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();


            // we will read data via the response stream

            Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();

            WebImage = Image.FromStream(stream);

            stream.Close();


            if (WebImage != null) { picSource.Image = WebImage; }

}

I get this error when I compile.

Error	1	'System.Drawing.Image' does not contain a definition for 'FromStream'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ;)

If its any help, your code compiles fine with me. I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional. My problem is getting an image to place in a picturebox for a windows application. I get an error when I runtime error like this:

'URI formats are not supported'.
