Download image from URL in C#

Madam Walker 4162 05 Oct 2013

I know that there are a small amount of similar questions but I have get a problem with the found suggestions.

I tried this:

Image tmpimg = null;

HttpWebRequest _httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

HttpWebResponse _httpWebReponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();

Stream _stream = httpWebReponse.GetResponseStream();

return Image.FromStream(_stream);

But on the last line when I type in Image. FromStream can´t be found. What can I do?

Hi there
I've tried this code to download image from url:

using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.Core;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.Codec;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic;

namespace RE__Test
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            REImage reImage = REFile.GetImageFromURL("http://www.rasteredge.com/Sample.png", new PNGDecoder());

            REFile.SaveImageFile(reImage, "c:/reimage.png", new PNGEncoder());
        }
    }
}
But it failed.What's wrong with my code.
