Displaying an image from URL

[drmartell]

I found this post helpful in understanding how to display an image that is stored locally:

How can the same be done for an image that is on a web server, i.e. accessed via http?

Thanks.

Hello drmartell,

Thanks for writing in.

We do not have any reference samples on doing this, but it is certainly possible within C#.

I found a StackOverflow article that shows you how to do this using the System.Net namespace. I will link it below:

Following that approach, you can create a function to download your file. I would advise to then check if the file exists so you can avoid a situation where you are trying to draw an image that is not downloaded yet.

Please let me know if I may be of further help.
