VB.Net - Net.HttpWebResponse Hangs randomly

[joejack0330]

Hi, this is running on windows mobile device compact framework. Can't seem to find any logic to it. Sometimes hangs on 3rd try and sometimes can be on 100th and hen it hangs, it doesn't timeout, just keeps going until have to reboot device. Have tried adding timeouts but no effect. Hope this is enough info so hoping maybe someone has seen something like this? Thanks.

Dim req As Net.HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("

Net.HttpWebRequest)
Dim res As Net.HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(req.GetResponse, Net.HttpWebResponse)
Dim img As Image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(res.GetResponseStream)
PictureBox2.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
res.Close()
Me.PictureBox2.Image = img
End Sub
Catch
End Try
