Download animated GIF
.net, animated, c#, gif
Solution
You should not create an `Image` from the stream (it will only store the first frame). Instead, you should write the contents of the `Stream` directly to disk using, for example, the `Stream.CopyTo` method to copy the content to a `FileStream` you created for the destination file.
using (Stream stream = httpWebReponse.GetResponseStream())
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
{
stream.CopyTo(fs);
}
Problem
I'm using the below to grab an animated gif off the web. However, upon saving this to disk, I lose the frames in the gif, and it no longer animates. Not sure whether the problem is in the below method, or whether it's when I'm saving it, but any feedback on why the below wouldn't work appreciated. The method is working - just not creating a proper animated gif file. ``` public Image getImage(String url) { HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url); HttpWebResponse httpWebReponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse(); Stream stream = httpWebReponse.GetResponseStream(); return Image.FromStream(stream, true, true); } Image im = getImage(url) im.Save(pth,ImageFormat.Gif); ```
