The second parameter is not accepted (picDrawingImage.Image.RawFormat).

This should be of System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat. Have a look at this link for reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.imaging.imageformat.aspx[^]

As side note: You might want to consider using MemoryStream.ToArray() instead of MemoryStream.GetBuffer(). Have a look at the remarks on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.memorystream.getbuffer[^]

Good luck!

Try converting it to a Bitmap first, then use the Bmp image format
{
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
Bitmap bmp = new BitMap(picDrawingImage.Image)

bmp.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Bmp );
return stream.GetBuffer();
}

Solution 3

This error usually occurs when the file permission is not set to the folder where the image is saved.
