Hi

I need to download an image (img) from a website without getting the entire
page. If i already have the HTML img tag and line how can i just download
the image and save it local?

thanks

Check out HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes in System.Net -- it
is very easy to do.

In VB2005 you can do this with a single line of code:

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(URL, localFilename)
