Question

I am currently working in an OCR reader using MODI dll and my code is like

    MODI.Document md = new MODI.Document();

    //image path 
    string fileToOCR="C:\\temp\\1in.jpg";

    md.Create(fileToOCR);
    md.OCR(MODI.MiLANGUAGES.miLANG_ENGLISH, true, true);
    MODI.Image img = (MODI.Image)md.Images[0];
    MODI.Layout layout = img.Layout;
    layout = img.Layout;
    string result = layout.Text;
    md.Close(false);

And I want to use

        //image path 
    string fileToOCR="C:\\temp\\1in.jpg";

to

        //image path 
    string fileToOCR="http://example.com/image.png";

How this possible, please help me.

MODI needs a local file to work on. You can use WebClient.DownloadData (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xz398a3f.aspx) to get the data, then save it locally.
