Hi,

You can try the following soultion given by famous developer john skeet in SO.
public async static Task<string> GetImageAsBase64Url(string url)
{
    var credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pw);
    using (var handler = new HttpClientHandler { Credentials = credentials })
    using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
    {
        var bytes = await client.GetByteArrayAsync(url);
        return "image/jpeg;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
    }
}

Try this
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

Byte[] byte = this.GetImage("http://malubov.blogspot.com/18090005.jpg");

sb.Append(Convert.ToBase64String(byte, 0, byte.Length));

return sb.ToString();
