I will try this Dubstep, thanks for the share.

Not to criticise but you could just save the image and add it as a resource.
But other than that good share.

Yes I am aware you can do that but the above code is helpful for things such as adding certain profile avatars, captcha images, etc... to your form. It can be used for a lot of things which you cannot do otherwise.
