How do I do this?

Answer 1

The PictureBox.Load(string url) method "sets the ImageLocation to the specified URL and displays the image indicated."

Answer 2

Try this:

var request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/6810d91caff032b202c50701dd3af745?d=identicon&r=PG");  using (var response = request.GetResponse()) using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream()) {     pictureBox1.Image = Bitmap.FromStream(stream); }
