I was Pulling an image from the path in the format

www.MyImageSite.com/Images/Image1.jpg

And I was using the C# code as follows

C#

HttpWebRequest request = null;
                HttpWebResponse response = null;
                byte[] buff = null;

                string rootDir = GetAppSettingValue(Constants.K_APP_KEY_SC_IMAGE_PATH);
                string fullPath = rootDir + @"/" + fileName+ ".jpg";

                request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(fullPath);
                response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

                if (request.HaveResponse)
                {
                    if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    {
                        Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                        using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(receiveStream))
                        {
                            buff = br.ReadBytes(500000);
                            br.Close();
                        }
                    }
                }

                return buff;

Here fileName is the argument passing to the function.

But now I have to show the image from the site
MyImageSite.com/Images/[StockCode].jpg (no www.)

Is there any suggestions solutions?

So the code above has nothing to do with your question? What have you tried? What did you find on google?

Solution 1

If you just wanted to remove the www. from the string, then why not simply remove it from the initial string?

Stings expose a function where you can replace a string to some other format. Try this,

C#

// create a variable
string url = "www.example.com/images_folder/image_name.png";
// replace with an empty string
string urlWithoutWww = url.Replace("www.", "");

Now you can use the second variable that won't have the initial www. in it to show the image from your own website.

Hi Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan Thanks for your answer :) .
String.Replace is a very popular function but it will not work for me now :( .
The urlWithoutWww will now look like "example.com/images_folder/image_name.png"
And this is the issue... I am looking for a solution which help me to download the image from the address "example.com/images_folder/image_name.png".

Then download the image with www and http protocol added. After that, remove that protocol and the www from the string. :)
