You need to read in the image as if you were reading in a webpage....first,
open the web page and parse the path to the image...then, you can use the
following code to get the byte-array of the image and store to a file or
data column in a database.

// BEGIN C#

           string url =
               @"http://www.co.merced.ca.us/CountyWeb/images/GeneralActive.gif";
           HttpWebRequest request =
               (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
           HttpWebResponse response =
               (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();

           byte[] bytes;
           using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream()) {
               bytes = new byte[response.ContentLength];
               stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
           }

           // Now we have a byte array to do as we wish, saving to a file
now.
           FileStream fs = File.Create(@"C:\GeneralActive.gif");
           fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
           fs.Close();

           // OR write to a database.
           // To do this, create an IMAGE (SQL Server) column and just copy
           // the byte array into the field for a DataRow.  An Image column
           // maps to a byte-array in a DataColumn in a DataRow.

// END C#

There may be an easier or better way in a more recent version of the .Net
Framework though... :)

Johny,

As soon as you know its url location you can download it using

DownloadFile
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient.downloadfile(VS.71
).aspx

To get that in a webbrowser you mostly needs a lot of mshtml

You can store the binary data in the database as a BLOB.

Thanks for the suggestions all of you.

Howevet, having had time to think about it, it seems like I'm missing
something here.

You see, as I wrote, I already have a webpage loaded in a webbrowser
containing the image I want to save to a database field.

So there should be no reason for downloading it AGAIN (using extra time to
do that). There MUST be a way to "pluck out" the image from the webbrowser
control in a form that's database saveable.

Cheers,
Johnny J.
