Hi bigbag,
I have never used that language before (.Net I think) but have you taken a look at how the .Net library gets images? Maybe it will provide some insight.

Hi,
I have not used .Net a whole lot, but looking at your snippet, the URL has an extra slash in it (right after 'original' in the URL):
You have: "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original//47LvV0urbkr8fEGEZHijD0GZReS.jpg"
It should be: "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/47LvV0urbkr8fEGEZHijD0GZReS.jpg"
