Running out of memory

Question

User673681018 posted
Hi all, I am creating simple application to shrink images. Here is my function that I call everytime I find a jpeg in the folder.

private void ResizeImages(Image imgImage, int intWidth,int intHeight, string SavePath)

{

Bitmap b = new Bitmap(imgImage);

Bitmap result = new Bitmap(intWidth, intHeight);

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(result);

g.Clear(System.Drawing.Color.White);

g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;

g.DrawImage(b,0,0,intWidth, intHeight);

result.Save(SavePath,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

result.Dispose();

b.Dispose();

g.Dispose();

}

For some reason, around 178 image, the application runs out of memory. Can someone tell me why?

One quick question. The Image object that is passed in - where does it come from, and who cleans it up?

It's in a loop. Something like bellow:

foreach( folderinfo folder in directoryinfo.folders()){
//bla bla bla
}

Ok, I will try to dispose the image object to and see where that goes. I thought I got all of them, but I missed the image object. Thanks, for your support.

Disposing the Image object worked. Thanks for all your help.
