<overview>
An arrogant, high-powered attorney takes on the case of a poor altar boy found running away from the scene of the grisly murder of the bishop who has taken him in. The case gets a lot more complex when the accused reveals that there may or may not have been a 3rd person in the room. The intensity builds when a surprise twist alters everyone's perception of the crime and what happens next...

</nowplaying>First thing I tried was to manually take the URL, set it as the starting value of the dynamic label and hooked the image up to the dynamic label. The image pulled no problem! So off to a good start...
Next I had the dynamic label updated by the feedback...not so good. The image never appeared. I even set the "Refresh Every" setting to try and see if that was it, still, no dice.
My next though was the URL was coming in mal-formed...pulled the URL DemoPad was getting from Hercules and dropped it in a browser and the image comes up without any issue. So next step was to have a Web View point to that dynamic label...and the image shows up!
So to sum up: Information is correct, an image does not display it when I update the dynamic label but does if I put it in as the starting value of the dynamic label, web view shows it in both situations.
Why is this? I would really like to use the image control instead of the web view because the web view doesn't resize the image...
Thanks
Thanks for the help!
