What is the best way to download pictures and show in a window?

Author Name Status Posted Time Henriq Breshnev 5/4/2008 10:35:44 PM Author is Offline Hi, What is the best way to download pictures then show them in a window? HtmlViewer seems like an easy option but it always displays a vertical scroll bar even when there is no need to scroll. Is there a way to remove this? So then I was thinking a combination of a HTTPSocket do download the picture and an ImageWell or Canvas to display the picture. Any input is appreciated.
