[WB 26]Import Image from URL

Good day

I hope this is possible. I have a table full of URL's to images i.e. [www.myclient.com]

How can I run through this table and actually either download the images to my computer and save them with the same name, or alternatively get the image and save it in a binary field in my table.

The long and the short of it is I want to get the image and not just have the link to the image.

Thanks in advance

Hi
If you have an image URL or image path then you can also display an image to the image control


image = www.myclient.com/picture_name.png

Thanks for the reply.

Yes you would think it is as simple as that but the image is not displayed in the image control.

My code is simply

IMG_Download..Image = product.ImageURL

but it is not displayed.

If I copy the contents of the product.imageURL to Chrome's web address then the image is displayed.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

there are two aspects to your problem, and I'm not sure which one is hard for you

Going through the table is a simple loop
Downloading the image is a simple httprequest+httpgetresult

Neither is complex, so let me know if you need more help

Where do you actually want your photos to appear?
Is your application Web or Desktop?
You need to make sure that the path is written correctly.

My apologies for the late reply.

This solution works perfectly.

httprequest+httpgetresult

despite the fact that the image won't display in an image control.

Thanks very much
