Hi Guys,

I've got the following vb.net code to retreive the dilbert image, display it
on the webpage and writing it to hd. Everything seems to be working fine
except when I try to write the binary stream to the harddrive. I create the
name in the correct directory (and the size is 31k, so it is writing the
info) but when I try opening up the gif file it doesnt' display. Either no
preview is available or there's just an ie X where the picture should be.
Please help. I have no idea what to search for to fix it :(.... Here's the
code...

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

   'Declare variables
    Dim oDly As New com.esynaps.www.DailyDilbert()
    Dim oByte() As Byte

   'This is the call to the web service
    oByte = oDly.DailyDilbertImage()

   'display it on website
    Response.BinaryWrite(oByte)

   'save gif to hd
   FileOpen(1, "C:\temp\dailydilbert.gif", OpenMode.Binary)
   FilePutObject(1, oByte)
   FileClose(1)

End Sub

thanx so much
sonja
