ASP.NET 3.5 VB.NET
I have code which I want to fetch PNG images from each of 10 different URL's.
I have found that it can take up to 2-3 seconds to get each PNG so thought it might be best to fetch them all at the same time.
Can someone help me out by adjusting the code below to make a Thread for each PNG fetch? I haven't done a lot of Thread stuff before and after an hour or so of trying I was hoping for some help. TIA

Exit Function

Try
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(strURL)
Dim response As System.Net.WebResponse = request.GetResponse()

Dim btmBitmap1 As New Bitmap(responseStream)
Return btmBitmap1
Finally

Use Parallel.ForEach
for simplified threading.
How to: Write a Simple Parallel.ForEach Loop
You can limit the number of threads with MaxDegreeOfParallelism
.
Parallel.ForEach(
lstClsWebsitesImageURLs,
new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 10 },
strURL1 => { fAddImageIfSuitable(strURL1); }
);
Create 10 Task , Task Array on each Task call a Asynchronous Method (same method which process the URL to Download image to Disk) wait for all thread to return
var tasks = new List<Task>();
foreach(task in tasks){
task[0] = GetImageAsync();}
Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray());
