Winform Picturebox

[Thiraz.4279]

Hi, when I try to load a picture from the api inside a winform app I am developping, I get a 500 error.

I tested with other websites url and they work just fine.

Works for me. Does it work for you in your browser? I'm strongly suspecting that your issue actually lies with the programming language, not the resource.

 

Also, please, for all that is holy, don't directly fetch from the API every time you need the image data. Cache that stuff.

I am using C# and it is working in my browser too.

I try to use the following:

 

pictureBox.Load(pictureUrl)

 

and This is where I get my Exception (500)

 

I am still new at developping software, I am making this one for personal use and for practice

Strange. I get the following error in my Firefox browser:

> {"error":48,"product":0,"module":2,"line":89,"text":"file couldn't be loaded"}

I just tried on firefox and it worked fine for me
