Error “This stream does not support seek operations” in C#

Question

I\'m trying to get an image from an url using a byte stream. But i get this error message:

This stream does not support seek operations.<

Answer 1

If the server doesn't send a length specification in the HTTP header, the stream size is unknown, so you get the error when trying to use the Length property.

Read the stream in smaller chunks, until you reach the end of the stream.
