In C #, how can I take an image from a URL and convert to System.Data.Linq.Binary

Question

I am using a library that wants a photo in System.Data.Linq.Binary format. RIght now I only have a URL. what's the easiest way in C # to convert this link to System.Data.Linq.Binary format?

Answer 1

byte[] raw; using(var client = new WebClient()) { // in System.Net raw = client.DownloadData(url); } var binary = new Binary(raw); // in System.Data.Linq 

Answer 2

I think WebClient.DownloadData is the easiest way:

 var webClient = new WebClient(); var imageBytes = webClient.DownloadData(yourUrl);
