Resizing and Saving Images 2

[jl280328]

How would I go about resizing an image and then saving it?

The easy version:

System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(originalImage, newWidth, newHeight);
bmp.Save("file path");

 

[jl280328]

Thank you that's all I need. I'm glad it's so easy

 

[jl280328]

So I tried the above code and got the following error:

'Bitmap' is a type in 'Drawing' and cannot be used as an expression.

here is the code I tried:

System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(Image, imgWidth, imgHeight)
bmp.Save("1Images/Small/6.jpg")

I am writing this in VB not C would that make a difference?

Yes it will - you will have to declare your "bmp" object as you would normally declare an object in VB.

i.e.

Declare bmp As System.Drawing.Bitmap = new ...

 

[jl280328]

so I did that now I am getting an error on this line:

bmp.Save("1Images/Small/6.jpg")

here is what I changed it to to declare it:

Dim bmp as System.Drawing.Image
bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(Image, imgWidth, imgHeight)

The error I get is:
"A generic error ocurred in GDI+"

I have Page Debug=True also but it still gives this generic error.

You'll discover GDI+ is one of the worst designed APIs in history and as such, the error message isn't very informative (it could mean one of about 10,000 things).

Does saving with an absolute path help the problem?

 

[jl280328]

that did it, thanks so much!
