Hello,

In my program I have Picture box control called Slika0.

This picture box is used for showing image downloaded from the internet server to user. Inside the program code I used simple url adress of the image as picture box image location.

Slika0.ImageLocation = "https://s.yimg.com/zz/combo?a/i/us/we/52/32.gif";

The problem is that when I start program I get this message :

" The underlying connection was closed : Could not estabilish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure chanel ".

When I make simple copy paste url into web browser adress bar, everything works perfectly, I've got the image in browser.

What could be the problem ?

What I have tried:

I have made question abouth this problem on yahoo answers site but there is still no adequate answer.

All the best,
Željko Perić

Url is valid.

create an empty form and add only a picturebox cotrol and try to assign the image to it.

Thanks for advice, I have done that and there is no image inside picture box for the url :
https://s.yimg.com/zz/combo?a/i/us/we/52/32.gif

But ! When I have changed url :
https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/App_Themes/CodeProject/Img/logo250x135.gif

Code project logo appears inside picture box as it should be.

I have made conclusion that there is something wrong with server where is saved image that I want to download. So I have downloaded all images to my computer simply by copy/paste from web browser and now I can use them inside my program. This is stupid solution but it works. By the way images are not copywrite protected :)

Thanks to Karthik for help in resolving this issue,
And all the best,
