WebClient not supported

[Ian Jones]

Hi,

I am in the process of porting a Windows.NET application to PocketPC .NET.
I was disappointed to discover that the System.NET.WebClient class is not
provided and I am not sure how to implement the same functionality.
My original code was:

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
System.IO.Stream s = wc.OpenRead(url);
picImage.Image = Image.FromStream(s);

Basically "url" is a string containing a URI pointing to a JPG (eg.
http://www.somedomain.com/somepicture.jpg)
I want to display this image in a PictureBox. Simple, eh?

Any ideas, gratefully appreciated.

=============================================

HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URL);
Request.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
Request.Accept = "*/*";
Request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();
System.IO.Stream = resp.GetResponseStream();
