How do I display an image from URL in C#?
===

  I heard that framework 2.0 supports image url but I cant find it. Is there any way to display  an image directly from Url in C#? (Desktop Application)

  Normally my followed way is that I download image after return an image. Here is my code.. But I dont want to follow that kind of way. So I am looking for a method which doesnt use Httpwebrequest or like that..



      public Image DownloadImage(string _URL)
            {
                Image _tmpImage = null;
    
                try
                {
                    // Open a connection
                    System.Net.HttpWebRequest _HttpWebRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(_URL);
    
                    _HttpWebRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
    
                    // You can also specify additional header values like the user agent or the referer: (Optional)
                    _HttpWebRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)";
                    _HttpWebRequest.Referer = "http://www.google.com/";
    
                    // set timeout for 20 seconds (Optional)
                    _HttpWebRequest.Timeout = 20000;
    
                    // Request response:
                    System.Net.WebResponse _WebResponse = _HttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
    
                    // Open data stream:
                    System.IO.Stream _WebStream = _WebResponse.GetResponseStream();
    
                    // convert webstream to image
                    _tmpImage = Image.FromStream(_WebStream);
    
                    // Cleanup
                    _WebResponse.Close();
                    _WebResponse.Close();
                }
                catch (Exception _Exception)
                {
                    // Error
                    Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in process: {0}", _Exception.ToString());
                    return null;
                }
    
                return _tmpImage;
            } 


I am looking for an alternative way. I dont know what can be.. ? I want to learn how can I handle that..
