Question

I’m doing a C# windows application, and need to know how to download a picture which has a link with a query string, for example www.mywebsite.com/img.aspx?imgid=12345 (which automatically redirects to the appropriate image based on imgid). I need to then save the file to the disk somewhere. I don’t need any big fancy download manager, just the cleanest way to get such an image from a redirecting URL.

Answer 1

You should be able to do it like this:

using (WebClient Client = new WebClient ())
{
    Client.DownloadFile("http://www.mywebsite.com/img.aspx?imgid=12345", "12345.jpg");
}
