I’m not sure exactly what you mean, so if this is not a solution to your issue please disregard this answer.

I assume what you mean is that you wish to download an image from a URL in the codebehind, store the
image locally and serve this image to the browser.

To do this you can use the following:

Markup

<asp:Image ID="image1" runat="server" />

CodeBehind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        string imageName = "downloaded-image.png";
        string imagePath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(@"~\Images"), imageName);
        string imageUrl = "https://encrypted.google.com/images/logos/ssl_logo.png";

        WebClient client = new WebClient();
        client.DownloadFile(imageUrl, imagePath);

        image1.ImageUrl = string.Format(@"~\Images\{0}", imageName);
    }
}

Hope this helps.
