How to download an image from a user computer

Question

Can I upload an image to an XNA game from a user computer? For example, I want to download "C: \ Images \ Box.png" to create a texture. Is it possible? If so, how?

Answer 1

In XNA 4.0 use Texture2D.FromStream

 Texture2D fileTexture; using(FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\Images\Box.png", FileMode.Open)) { fileTexture = Texture2D.FromStream(GraphicsDevice, fileStream); } 

---

If you use XNA before 4.0, you can use Texture2D.FromFile .

Answer 2

 System.IO.FileStream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(@"C:\Images\Box.png", System.IO.FileMode.Open); Texture2D texture = Texture2D.FromStream(GraphicsDevice, stream);
