ASP.NET error on Bitmap.Save "Exception (0x80004005): A generic error occurred in GDI+."
- by Batu
Hi,
I have a function which first reads an image from disk, resizes it and then saves to another directory.
when i use the Bitmap.Save(directory + theimagename) it returns the error as i stated in the question title.
i checked the directory is right, and the given image name doesn't exist in that dir.
what is weird, is that the same code works great on the local machine. but when i upload it to my shared server. it just doesn't work.
the code is below.
bmpOut = new Bitmap(Size, Size);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpOut);
g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
g.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, 0, 0, Size, Size);
int topBottomPadding = 0; int leftRightPadding = 0;
if (Size > lnNewWidth + 1)
leftRightPadding = Convert.ToInt32((Size - lnNewWidth) / 2);
else if (Size > lnNewHeight + 1)
topBottomPadding = Convert.ToInt32((Size - lnNewHeight) / 2);
g.DrawImage(loBMP, leftRightPadding, topBottomPadding, lnNewWidth, lnNewHeight);
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(bmpOut);
if (bmp != null)
bmp.Save(ResizedOutput);
bmp.Dispose();
bmpOut.Dispose();
g.Dispose();
loBMP.Dispose();
