Lets say that I have fetched an Image called img from my Database and Now I want to save it in my Local.

I am getting below Error for same.

Solving: A generic error occurred in GDI+. in C#

Is there anyone who had faced this kind of stuff and was able to save the image finally in local ?

Below is the code

public static void SavePic(Image img)
        {
            Image result = null;
            ImageFormat format = ImageFormat.Png;
            result = img;

            using (Image imageToExport = result)
            {
                string filePath = string.Format(@"C:\Vaibhav Personal.{0}", format.ToString());

                imageToExport.Save(filePath, format);

            }

        }

Try saving to a folder rather than the root of the c drive.

Solution 1

Start here: Why do I get a "Parameter is not valid." exception when I read an image from my database?[^] and check exactly what it does. Then check your save code, and the DB content.

If that all looks good, use the debugger to look at exactly what is happening in your method - you use of using there is ... um ... different and is likely to cause other problems later, since it will force a Dispose on the Image that both imageFormat and img (and by extension the outside world that calls this method) are referring to. using blocks should be used for new instances, not existing ones.

The Probelem was Lazy Loading. So We were saving an image before it was created.
To solve this, I made another Image Type variable called copy and assigned my original img image to copy and then save the copy image file.

Sharing the code. Do let me know for any more clarifications. Thanks a lot Griff !

public static void SavePic(Image img,string Filename)
{
string fileName = Filename;
string saveDirectory = @"C:\Personal";
if (!Directory.Exists(fileName))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(fileName);
}
string fileSavePath = Path.Combine(saveDirectory, fileName);
Image copy = img;
copy.Save(fileSavePath, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

}
