  May 27, 2009 06:19 AM|vipinsolanki|LINK

  i am suffered from this problem from last 4 days and still blank regarding this error.
  bellow is the function for uploading the image in three different folder large,view and thumb.
  
  
  private void upload_file_large_thumb(String thumb_url, String large, String view, FileUpload fileuploader) { if (Session["folder"].ToString() != "") { String file_name = ""; #region save large Image //save large Image String basepath = "../../images/" + Session["folder"].ToString() + "/"; basepath = Server.MapPath(basepath); file_name = large; //first delete maybe file try { if (File.Exists(basepath + file_name)) File.Delete(basepath + file_name); } catch { } fileuploader.SaveAs(basepath + file_name); fileuploader.Dispose(); System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream).Dispose(); #endregion #region save view //save view file_name = view; System.Drawing.Image view_image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream); view_image = ResizeImage.resizeImage(view_image, 710); basepath = "../../images/" + Session["folder"].ToString() + "/view/"; basepath = Server.MapPath(basepath); //first delete may be file try { if (File.Exists(basepath + file_name)) File.Delete(basepath + file_name); } catch { } //view_image.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX); view_image.Save(basepath + file_name); view_image.Dispose(); System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream).Dispose(); view_image = null; GC.Collect(); #endregion #region save thumbnail //save thumbnail file_name = thumb_url; System.Drawing.Image thumb = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream); thumb = ResizeImage.resizeImage(thumb, 100); basepath = "../../images/" + Session["folder"].ToString() + "/thumbs/"; basepath = Server.MapPath(basepath); //first delete may be file try { if (File.Exists(basepath + file_name)) File.Delete(basepath + file_name); } catch { } //thumb.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX); thumb.Save(basepath + file_name); thumb.Dispose(); System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream).Dispose(); thumb = null; GC.Collect(); #endregion fileuploader.PostedFile.InputStream.Close(); } }

   Use view_image.Dispose() before view_image.RotateFlip

  and create a new image (instead of view_image) from stream rather than using the same image object again.

   Look on to this:

  Hope this helps!

  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.....  :)

  Please mark this as if this helps u.
