GDI+ Hangs when drawing text

[TooMuch2AM]

I have an ASP.NET page written in VB that composites text onto an image and outputs the resulting image to the browser.

The code is hardly rocket science, and works fine on a local server; but attempting to execute the code on the DASP servers causes a hang and eventually causes the entire site to display 'Service Unavailable'.

I've done some much more complex GDI+ code on the site (such as compositing 2 images together) and that is working like a dream, but as soon as I try to use a Graphics.Drawstring statement I'm in a world of pain.

This is starting to tick me off big time, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Mike

Can you post your code?

A simple ASP.net example that highlight the problem will be sufficient.

Does anyone know how to handle exceptions caused by "Generic GDI+ errors"??? I have tried placing the code in TRY/CATCH blocks but that does not seem to handle these exceptions.

I have a huge application that uses GDI+ which works great for the most part, but these "generic" errors seem very sporadic and I do not know how to handle the exceptions they cause...

Need more information to help you.
