ios - UIImage loaded from URL in Xamarin / C# -

it has been 4 years since this question has been answered this blog post.

is there standard way create uiimage image url? like:

uiimage image = uiimage.fromfile("http://foo.com/bar.jpg"); 

i feel i'm missing simple.

not one-liner, few lines can roll own. e.g.

static uiimage fromurl (string uri) {     using (var url = new nsurl (uri))     using (var data = nsdata.fromurl (url))         return uiimage.loadfromdata (data); } 

the calls, including 1 uiimage, thread-safe.
