This in in an ASP.NET application.
Locally, this code runs fine, but on our production server, it throws an exception of 'Parameter is not valid' when Bitmap.Save() is called.
Should I not be using System.Drawing.Bitmap because its not recommened based on this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.aspx
Classes within the System.Drawing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions.
What else could I use?
Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(img);
myBitmap.SetResolution(img.HorizontalResolution, img.VerticalResolution);
// get the tiff codec info
ImageCodecInfo myImageCodecInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/tiff");
// Create an Encoder object based on the GUID for the Compression parameter category
System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder myEncoder = System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Compression;
// create encode parameters
EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);
EncoderParameter myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, (long)EncoderValue.CompressionCCITT4);
myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
// save as a tiff
myBitmap.Save(input, myImageCodecInfo, myEncoderParameters);
