Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

hi all,

Im saving a barcode in server.mappath.But its giving an error as A generic error occurred in GDI+. Im trying to save it as Bmp format.

Can anyone say why this error has come?

           Dim imgBarcode As System.Drawing.Image = bcp.GetBarcodeImage(dpi, targetArea)
            Dim ms2 As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream
            imgBarcode.Save(ms2, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
            Dim arr2(ms2.Length) As Byte
            ms2.Write(arr2, 0, arr2.Length)
            imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("~\Barcode\Data\") & all & ".bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) //Error is here.Cant Save Image

Hi all,

Check write permission of the folder you are trying to write your image on it.

I hope this helps.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Everything is correct.The thing is that i cant save the image in folder. Wen it reaches the statement,

it goes straight to catch message and displays the error.

Hi Jeen,

I think the problem is one of two things:

1-try to remove the "~\" before the Barcode\Data and use Server.MapPath("Barcode/Data").

2- I had the same error and was because of write permission not allowed and i solved it by:

a. if you are using server add everyone user to folder users and set its permission to read and write.

b. if you are using local machine make the folder shared and allow everyone user can change it.

Best regards.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

I removed the "~" symbol. There wont be any permission problem because im using 2 folders to display the image. the first folder works fine. the problem is with this folder only.I had made like this.

Dim imgBarcode As System.Drawing.Image = bcp.GetBarcodeImage(dpi, targetArea)

imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("Barcode\Datamatrix\") & all & ".bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

imgBarcode.Dispose()

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Here is where i have the problem

imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("Barcode\Datamatrix\") & all & ".bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

I cant save. I got the error as here. Else everything is fine

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Hi there,

I got the same error but just fixed.

Check the permission again.

The file going to write is already opened by some script or it's not closed properly. (very possible if you are trying to reuse the same file name)

Hope this help.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

try to change your fileformat.. some time.. few properties and settings don't work with certain fileformat.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Actually im saving another bmp image in another folder, it works good.The problem is in this only.Pls help.Im working with this for last 4-5 days...

Dim bcp As New Neodynamic.WebControls.BarcodeProfessional.BarcodeProfessional
            bcp.Code = all
            bcp.Symbology = Neodynamic.WebControls.BarcodeProfessional.Symbology.DataMatrix
            bcp.BarHeight = 1.0F
            bcp.BarWidth = 0.01F
            bcp.DisplayCode = True
            Dim dpi As Single = 300.0F
            Dim targetArea As New System.Drawing.SizeF(1.0F, 0.5F)
            Dim imgBarcode As System.Drawing.Image = bcp.GetBarcodeImage(dpi, targetArea)
            bcp.Font.Bold = True
            'Add the Barcode control
            PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(bcp)
            Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream
            Dim bm As Bitmap = New Bitmap(imgBarcode)
            bm.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
            Dim arr(ms.Length) As Byte
            ms.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length)
            imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("\Barcode\Matrix\") & all & ".bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) //Here is the problem.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Hi jeen,

I tryed your code and discovered what was causing the error,it is when using Server.MapPath("\Barcode\Matrix\") it takes you to the wrong folder.

Just use Server.MapPath("Barcode\Matrix\") without \ or / before the Barcode,

this is the code i used:

Dim imgBarcode As System.Drawing.Image = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("") & "\img.png") 'bcp.GetBarcodeImage(dpi, targetArea)

'bcp.Font.Bold = True

'Add the Barcode control

'PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(bcp)

Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStreamDim bm As Bitmap = New Bitmap(imgBarcode)

bm.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

Dim arr(ms.Length) As Byte

ms.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length)

imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("imagesww/m") & "\newImg.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) ' not error

imgBarcode.Save(Server.MapPath("/imagesww/m") & "\newImg.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) ' causes error

imgBarcode.Dispose()

----------------------------------

Trace the your code and make sure the you are saving the image in the right place.

Best Regards,

Bilal.

Re: Error in saving Image-A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Hello Friends,

as me was blocked on the same issue from last 3-4 days n tried a lot of different attempts for the same but not a single one turned out to be successful.
But finally today i got the solution.

After making it double sure that all the permissions are set to WRITE.

USE string filepath = Server.MapPath("./Images/");
instead of
string filepath = Server.MapPath("~//Images//");

the main issue was while mapping a virtual path
it starts the path from site folder
so we need to map with "." instead of "~"

I have tried the same solution on 3 different projects for the same problem.
all of them started working very smoothly.
All the best..... :)

rohitmahadik
USE string filepath = Server.MapPath("./Images/");
instead of
string filepath = Server.MapPath("~//Images//");

Yes it should be ~ it will resolve the url.. of the image from the images folder..
