Image.Save gives file not found exception

Question

Hi,
In my application, a user can upload an image. If its too large, it will automatically be scaled.
But when trying to save the new, scaled image, i get an exception saying 'file not found', and then the location of the image I have selected to upload.

this is the code:

private void ScaleAndSaveImage(HttpPostedFile file, string path, string name)
{
      System.Drawing.Image original = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(file.FileName);
      int width = original.Width, height = original.Height;
      float scale = 1;

      // This will calculate how much the image will have to be scaled
      if (width > height)
            scale = (float) width / MAXWIDTH;
      else
            scale = (float) height / MAXHEIGHT;

      // New width and height, scaled
      width = (int)(width / scale);
      height = (int)(height / scale);

      // Creating and saving the image
      System.Drawing.Image newImage = new Bitmap(original, new Size(width, height));
      newImage.Save(path + name, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}

The last line is when the error is thrown. The image, however, WILL be uploaded. But in its original size, not scaled. This is what's confusing me the most.

If anyone can give me any clues, it would be great ;)

First upload the file without any scale down and immediatly there after, create an Image object of the uploaded image from its server path.Scale down to your desired size and then save the new file. Finally you may like to delete the original file. let me know if it worked.
