Show an image from a URL in WinForms PictureBox

Question

Hi I have a WinForms project targetting .net core. I am trying to load an image from a URL, but all I am getting is this:

Inside a UserControl I have added a PictureBox (pic1) and a Button.

Added the following as an example to the click event of the button:

pic1.LoadAsync("https://images.pexels.com/photos/4815143/pexels-photo-4815143.jpeg");

also

pic1.ImageLocation = "https://images.pexels.com/photos/4815143/pexels-photo-4815143.jpeg";

Have tried with different URLs

Any ideas what is wrong?

Edit I've tried an alternative option, something seems to be getting stuck on DownloadData

 using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
 {
 byte[] data = webClient.DownloadData("https://images.pexels.com/photos/4815143/pexels-photo-4815143.jpg");


    using (MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream(data))
    {
        using (var yourImage = Image.FromStream(mem))
        {
        
        }
    }
 }
