I have a project which the following segment of code is used to convert an image uploaded by the user. Everything seems to work correctly on my machine when I am testing. But when I'm running the project after publishing it to the server I receive
"A generic error occurred in GDI+." Below is the method raising the error:
// This function will return the source image to a tiff format. If the format is .tiff, then the function just returns with success.
public bool Convert_Image_To_Tiff(string str_SourceFile, string DESTINATION_PATH)
{
if (Path.GetExtension(str_SourceFile).ToUpper() == ".tiff") //The file is already in the format we want
{
File.Copy(str_SourceFile, DESTINATION_PATH);
return true;
}
else
{
try
{
using (System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap_Image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(str_SourceFile)) //Convert a bitmap instance based on the source file
{
bitmap_Image.Save(DESTINATION_PATH, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff); //Save this instance to the destination location and convert the format to that of a tiff
}
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
obj_Email.Send(obj_Email.Error_Email, "Error in Claims_Upload -> Convert_Image_To_Tiff()", ex.Message + "<br/><br/>" + ex.StackTrace);
return false;
}
}
}
