Question : Converting a url to a bytearray

"http://ccms.ochsner.org/tempfiles/PROO688192010105509AM13688694V001_001.GIF"

Assuming the above is a valid URL, and is all the information I have about the file, how do I use VB.NET to convert it to a ByteArray?

Standard file handling code returns "URI format is not supported".

Thanks in advance!

Answer : Converting a url to a bytearray

Do you want to convert the URL string into bytes OR get the bytes of the image that this URL is pointing towards?
