I am trying to create images using .NET. Below is the code that I am using. This works fine most of the time but sometimes I guess that the stream gets cut off and I have a corrupt file. I am getting the image via its URL.
I am really looking for someone to correct my code or provide me insight as to what else I can do.
Thanks
// Function will return the number of bytes processed
// to the caller. Initialize to 0 here.
int bytesProcessed = 0;
// Assign values to these objects here so that they can
// be referenced in the finally block
Stream remoteStream = null;
Stream localStream = null;
WebResponse response = null;
// Use a try/catch/finally block as both the WebRequest and Stream
// classes throw exceptions upon error
try
{
// Create a request for the specified remote file name
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(remoteFilename);
if (request != null)
{
// Send the request to the server and retrieve the
// WebResponse object
response = request.GetResponse();
if (response != null)
{
// Once the WebResponse object has been retrieved,
// get the stream object associated with the response's data
remoteStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Create the local file
localStream = File.Create(localFilename);
// Allocate a 1k buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
// Simple do/while loop to read from stream until
// no bytes are returned
do
{
// Read data (up to 1k) from the stream
bytesRead = remoteStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
// Write the data to the local file
localStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
// Increment total bytes processed
bytesProcessed += bytesRead;
} while (bytesRead > 0);
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
finally
{
// Close the response and streams objects here
// to make sure they're closed even if an exception
// is thrown at some point
if (response != null) response.Close();
if (remoteStream != null) remoteStream.Close();
if (localStream != null) localStream.Close();
}
I'm getting the following error:
Main Exception

The issue was with the file being locked by Windows. Basically, there were two servers. Saved the file on another server where it should have been and it all worked.
