Uploading and resizing an image.

[mike55]

Hi all

I am trying to upload an image, and resize it automatically onto a web server. I have successfully uploaded the file, and I am able to rename it and change the file extention on it. Here is the code that I am using:

Dim strLongFilePath As String = fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName
Dim intFileNameLength As Integer = InStr(1, StrReverse(strLongFilePath), "\")
Dim strFileName As String = Mid(strLongFilePath, (Len(strLongFilePath) - intFileNameLength) + 2)

FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("\Samples\") & strFileName)

What I am having a problem with is in resizing the file. I have been looking on google but the examples I have found are related to window applications.

Any suggestions?

Hi all

Here is the code that I am using to resize the image, it fires off without an exception, however, it does not seem to create the new image.

Private Sub ResizeImage(ByRef fileName As String, ByVal factor As Integer)
Dim img As Bitmap
Dim imageResize As Bitmap
Dim fs As New FileStream(Server.MapPath("\Samples\") & fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim imgData(fs.Length) As Byte
Dim ms As New MemoryStream()

fs.Read(imgData, 0, fs.Length)
fs.Close()

Try
  img = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(imgData))
  imageResize = New Bitmap(img, New Size(img.Size.Width * factor, img.Size.Height * factor))
  imageResize.Save(ms, Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
Catch ex As Exception
  Stop
End Try 
End Sub

Any suggestions?

imageResize.Save(ms, Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

youre just saving it back to the memory stream.

So how should I be saving it, I was using img, but that didnt seem logical.

Theimage has been saved to the MemoryStream. If you want to save it out to a physical file use a FileStream, if you needto do something further with the image then make the function return either ms or an image constructed from ms.
